SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - California's highest court has agreed to hear legal 
challenges to a new ban on gay marriage, but is refusing to allow gay 
couples to resume marrying until it rules.

The California Supreme Court on Wednesday accepted three lawsuits 
seeking to overturn Proposition 8. The amendment passed this month with 
52 percent of the vote. The court did not elaborate on its decision.

All three cases claim the ban abridges the civil rights of a vulnerable 
minority group. They argue that voters alone did not have the authority 
to enact such a significant constitutional change.
