The Couple Who Helped Overturn California’s Same-Sex Marriage Ban

The Couple Who Helped Overturn California’s Same-Sex Marriage Ban

Published 2 years, 2 months ago
Description

Sandy Stier and Kris Perry were plaintiffs in a landmark case challenging California’s Prop 8, which banned gay marriage in 2008. Their trial went all the way to the Supreme Court, and would eventually restore marriage equality to California. This year, KQED invited Stier and Perry to watch unsealed tapes from the trial of their younger selves taking the stand for marriage equality, and to reflect on what it meant to be part of that fight all these years later.
