David Masci talked about same-sex marriage in the U.S. and worldwide, and he responded to telephone calls and electronic communications. Mr. Masci addressed recent states' action and the legal debate surrounding same-sex marriage.
A federal trial was scheduled to begin later that day in San Francisco to consider whether the Proposition 8 gay marriage ban approved by California voters in November 2008 is legal. Following the taping of this Washington Journal program, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled not to allow video of the trial to be posted on YouTube.com, even with a delay, until the justices have more time to consider the issue. Opponents of the broadcast say they fear witness testimony might be affected if cameras are present.
