SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A federal appeals court has declared California's
same-sex marriage ban to be unconstitutional, paving the way for a
likely U.S. Supreme Court showdown on the voter-approved law.

A three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San
Francisco ruled 2-1 Tuesday that a lower court judge interpreted the
U.S. Constitution correctly in 2010 when he declared the ban, known as
Proposition 8, to be a violation of the civil rights of gays and
lesbians.

The measure, which passed with 52 percent of the vote in 2008,
outlawed same-sex unions just five months after they became legal in
the state.

Lawyers for Proposition 8 sponsors and for two couples who sued to
overturn the ban have said they would appeal to the Supreme Court if
they did not receive a favorable ruling from the 9th Circuit
