Marriage Equality Advocates Applaud 9th Circuit Decision on California's Prop 8.
<div class='node-body'><p>The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals <a href="http://www.mercurynews.com/breaking-news/ci_20786293/proposition-8-case-headed-u-s-supreme-court">announced</a> on Tuesday its refusal to hear a challenge to an earlier court ruling that called California's Propostion 8 -- which banned same-sex marriages -- unconstitutional. Foes of marriage equality have little choice but to bring their appeal to the US Supreme Court, which could hear the case as early as next winter.</p></div><div class="field field-type-filefield field-field-news-hp-image">
