“The Supreme Court’s historic ruling in Hollingsworth v. Perry means
that same-sex couples have the fundamental right to be legally married
in all of California’s 58 counties. The
Court agreed with our argument that opponents of same-sex marriage
lacked the legal standing required to bring the issue to the court.
Same-sex marriages can legally resume in California as soon as the Ninth
Circuit Court of Appeals lifts its stay on the District Court Ruling. I
ask that the Ninth Circuit lift this stay immediately, because gay and
lesbian couples in California have waited long enough for their full
civil rights.”
California Attorney General Kamala Harris, June 26, 2013.
“I am thrilled that the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals lifted its stay
to allow same-sex couples to legally marry in California. Gay and lesbian couples have waited so long
for this day and for their fundamental right to marry. Finally, their
loving relationships are as legitimate and legal as any other.”
California Attorney General Kamala Harris, June 28, 2013.
