Lawyers for gay marriage ban sponsors file petition to stop weddings
As same-sex couples continued to make their way to San Francisco City Hall to exchange wedding vows Saturday, lawyers for the gay marriage ban sponsors filed an emergency petition, asking the US Supreme Court to intervene and stop the weddings.
A citizen initiative to ban gay marriage will be on the November ballot, the only 1 of more than 50 active petition drives that qualified at the deadline for signature verification.
