Gay Marriage: Opponents and Advocates Look to Next Battle

There was little surprise Thursday when the California Supreme Court ruled that San Francisco officials overstepped their authority in giving marriage licenses to gay and lesbian couples. The ruling voided the marriages of nearly 4000 couples.

Gay Marriage: Couples React to Ruling

The nearly 4000 gay and lesbian couples whose marriages were annulled Thursday now have a piece of paper that's little more than a memento of history.

Hours after the ruling, hundreds of couples gathered in San Francisco to re-affirm their commitment to winning those rights.Reporter: Deirdre Kennedy
