THE CENTER CELEBRATES CALIFORNIA SUPREME COURT MARRIAGE DECISION

(Las Vegas-May 15, 2008) The Gay and Lesbian Community Center of Southern Nevada Joins California's LGBT Community to Celebrate the California Supreme Court's Recognition of same-sex marriage rights.

In a 4-3 decision today, the California Supreme Court overturned that state's ban on gay marriage. With the support of Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, the state will become the second in the U.S. to legally recognize the marriage rights of same-sex couples. "We celebrate this victory with our friends, families, allies and neighbors in California. We look forward to the day when all couples who choose to marry will have their relationships recognized legally," said Candice Nichols, Executive Director of The Center.

California now joins Massachusetts in recognizing the relationships of same-sex couples in the United States, and 5 countries internationally.
