GenQ - For the not so straight individual

Gay rights advocates asked the California Supreme Court to consider an appeal against the state's ban on gay marriage Monday.

In papers filed with the state's highest court, several civil rights groups argued that prohibiting gay couples to marry violates the California constitution. As a result, the groups believe the CA Supreme Court should rule on the issue.

The CA Supreme Court already ruled on this issue last month concluding that it is up to voters or the legislature to change the law rather than the judges.

Advocates are hopeful that the court will take the case and rule in their favor this time.
