Calif. Official Fights Proposition 8
SAN FRANCISCO -- The California attorney general has changed his position on the state's new ban on same-sex marriage and is urging the state Supreme Court to void Proposition 8. Edmund G. "Jerry" Brown Jr. filed a brief Friday saying the measure that amended the state constitution to limit marriage to a man and a woman is unconstitutional and deprives gay couples of a fundamental right. After California voters passed Proposition 8 on Nov. 4, Brown said he would fight to uphold the initiative in his role as attorney general, even though he personally voted against it. He submitted his brief in one of the three legal challenges to Proposition 8 brought by supporters of same-sex marriage.
