California’s highest court will hear three hours of arguments Tuesday on whether same-sex couples should be allowed to be legally married. The case stems from a combination of lawsuits from 15 same-sex couples and the City of San Francisco. The suits were filed the day after the court halted a month-long wedding spree in San Francisco in 2004. A ruling is expected within 90 days.

In this controversial and emotionally-charged issue, do you think the decision should be up to the courts, or should the voters be the ones to decide?

San Diego Mayor Jerry Sanders abruptly reversed his public opposition to gay marriage Wednesday after revealing his adult daughter is gay. Sanders said San Diego will join the legal fight to overturn California's prohibition of same-sex marriages.

Sanders said, "I have decided to lead with my heart, which is probably obvious at the moment, to do what I think is right -- and to take a stand on behalf of equality and social justice. The right thing for me to do is to sign this resolution."
