“Prop 8 witness says gay marriage undermines traditional marriage”

Anchorage Daily News (Sacramento Bee): “David Boies, an attorney for the plaintiffs, questioned Blankenhorn’s credentials and conclusions and noted that Blankenhorn had written in a book that ‘we would be more American’ if gays were permitted to wed and their children would be better off . . . Austin Nimocks, an attorney for Proposition 8 defenders, told reporters during a break in the proceedings that Blankenhorn’s remark was based on a hypothetical presumption that same-sex marriage and heterosexual marriage were equal. ‘He made it clear it was not,’ Nimocks said.”
