SACRAMENTO, Calif. (BP)--The political battle over same-sex "marriage" in California heated up Dec. 6 when state legislators introduced competing bills -- one legalizing "gay marriage," the other banning it within the state constitution.
The bills were introduced two weeks before a California state judge is scheduled to hear a case by activists seeking to legalize same-sex "marriage." That case, along with the two bills, means that California will remain front-and-center in the national "gay marriage" debate in 2005.
In fact, the issue shows no signs of disappearing nationally.
