WKOW 27: Madison, WI Breaking News, Weather and SportsWI Supreme Court to look at state's gay marriage ban
Member Center:
MADISON (WKOW) -- Late Thursday, the court announced it would take up a case thrown out of Dane County court last year.
In 2006, Wisconsin voters approved a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage and civil unions.
The Wisconsin Supreme Court will look at a challenge to that vote. Namely, whether the referendum illegally put two issues to voters at the same time: whether to ban gay marriage and whether to outlaw civil unions.
The case was brought to the courts by a UW-Oshkosh professor.
Last month, the Court of Appeals asked the high court to take the case immediately because of its statewide significance.
