Orange County Employment Lawyer

California Chief Justice Ronald George recently ruled to legalize same-sex marriages in California.  In the May 15th decision, overturning the previous state marriage law that did not allow gay and lesbian couples to marry, George made comparisons to the time period when California struck down its ban on interracial marriages.  Although the decision will be controversial and George expects to face criticism, he remarked that the time immediately following the lifting of the interracial marriage ban was marked by strife as well.  He expects Californians to adjust to the idea of same-sex marriages as they did with racial equality.
