SAN
FRANCISCO
(AP)
—
Gay-marriage
opponents
are
urging
the
California
Supreme
Court
to
let
voters
consider
a
November
ballot
measure
that
would
ban
same-sex
nuptials.
In
court
papers
filed
Monday,
five
California
residents
asked
the
high
court
to
toss
out
a
lawsuit
filed
earlier
this
month
by
a
group
seeking
to
remove
the
measure
from
the
ballot.
Equality
California
says
in
the
lawsuit
that
the
signature
petitions
used
to
put
the
measure,
called
Proposition
8,
on
the
ballot
were
misleading.
It
also
says
Proposition
8
is
a
constitutional
revision
rather
than
an
amendment,
which
would
make
it
improper
to
put
before
voters.
In
related
news,
sponsors
of
the
ballot
initiative
said
GOP
presidential
hopeful
John
McCain
has
endorsed
the
measure.
He
sent
a
supportive
e-mail
to
www.ProtectMarriage.com
last
week.
