California senate weighs marriage license bill to ban gays
The State Senate questioned a bill on marriage licenses defining marriage as a civil contract between a man and a woman and restricting clergy from performing same sex weddings. Assemblyman Jee Nestande argued it would restore morality. Senator Milton Marks noted no licenses have been issued to same sex couples and questioned the bill’s necessity. County clerks asked Nestande to carry the measure after requests from gays seeking licenses.
