Group files CA Supreme Court lawsuit to stop SF gay weddings
A group already challenging San Francisco's same-sex weddings in a local court has filed a lawsuit in California's Supreme Court to stop the city from issuing marriage licenses to gay couples. The lawsuit opens a new legal front in the court battles over San Francisco's gay and lesbian nuptials. More than 3,000 marriage licenses have been issued to same-sex couples since Mayor Gavin Newsom authorized them earlier this month. The new lawsuit was filed on behalf of three California residents not involved in two separate lawsuits pending in San Francisco courts contesting the licenses, said Benjamin Bull, chief counsel for the Alliance Defense Fund. The Arizona-based group also represents plaintiffs in one of the lawsuits in local court.
