Robin Tyler and her
wife, Diane Olson, are plaintiffs in the California supreme
court case seeking to overturn Proposition 8. Now, Tyler says,
the time for saying "please don't divorce us" is
over.
Activist Robin
Tyler enlists the help of some notable friends and
takes the campaign against California's proposed gay
marriage ban into her own hands.

Robin Tyler and
Diane Olson, the first plaintiff couple named in the
historic lawsuit that overturned California's ban on gay
marriage and the first same-sex couple married in Los
Angeles County in June, wasted no time filing a new
lawsuit with California's supreme court Wednesday
morning. 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.
Is Prop. 8
unconstitutional, or should the voters have a chance to
overturn it in 2010? Depends on whom you ask -- just know that
some of the big names in marriage equality aren't quite
seeing eye to eye.
Demanding equality,
hundreds of people took to the steps of the State Capitol this
week in Sacramento. Advocate.com's exclusive photo gallery
tells the story.
