WASHINGTON -- The Obama administration came out forcefully Thursday (Feb. 28) against California's ban on same-sex marriage and, by extension, implicated similar bans in 37 other states.
In a brief to the Supreme Court, which will hear two landmark same-sex marriage cases in late March, the Justice Department argued that gay and lesbian couples should have the same right to marry as heterosexuals.
