NEXT GAY MARRIAGE FIGHT COULD MOVE FAST: From Law.com

Now that the sideshow is over, the real fight over the constitutionality of banning same-sex marriage is about to begin.

And attorneys on both sides of the issue predict that the constitutional challenge in San Francisco Superior Court will move along quicker than many might imagine. "It could be resolved by the end of the year," Deputy City Attorney Therese Stewart said Friday. ...

The San Francisco proceedings involve four suits that were coordinated into one case. Two were filed against Lockyer, including one by the city and another by two gay rights groups and 12 same-sex couples denied marriage licenses in San Francisco. In a third case, the Rev. Troy Perry, founder of Metropolitan Community Churches, and gay activist Robin Tyler and their partners have taken on the county of Los Angeles. The final case was filed by San Francisco attorney Waukeen McCoy.
