In announcing their legal action, the couple also said the No on 8 campaign -- specifically Los Angeles-based efforts -- dropped the ball in helping to defeat the measure.

California High Court Reviews Gay Marriage Ban

The national gay marriage debate shifted to California on Tuesday, as the state's highest court heard more than 3 1/2 hours of arguments on the constitutionality of a voter-approved law banning same-sex marriage. Gay rights advocates sued to overturn the ban four years ago after the court halted a months-long same-sex wedding spree that saw thousands of couples marry at San Francisco's City Hall. ''I think I speak for everybody when I say that this has been a long time coming and a day that has been eagerly anticipated,'' said San Francisco city attorney Dennis Herrera, who is representing the city in a lawsuit supporting same-sex marriage.
