Judge Rejects LA's Same-Sex Marriage Ban After Another Judge Upholds It

A federal judge ruled earlier this year that the state-level ban on same-sex marriage is constitutional, reasoning that "gay marriage supporters failed to prove that the ban violates equal protection or due process provisions of the Constitution."
