- San Diego Mayor Testifies
Tuesday’s proceedings in the same-sex marriage trial in San Francisco federal court involved a good deal of emotion thanks to the testimony of Jerry Sanders, the mayor of San Diego. Sanders is a conservative Republican who once opposed gay marriage, but he changed his mind after learning that is daughter is a lesbian. You can read his testimony in Day 6 of the transcripts, and you can find links below to transcripts of the first five days. "My daughter deserves the same opportunity to have a wedding in front of family, friends and co-workers," Sanders said during his testimony for the plaintiffs seeking to overturn California’s Proposition 8. Defenders of the ban have said that such viewpoints are irrelevant.
