Default Opponents of gay marriage ban must release memos (AP)

AP - Civil rights groups that campaigned against California's same-sex marriage ban must surrender some of their internal campaign memos and e-mails to lawyers for the other side, a federal judge ruled Monday.

U.S. District Chief Judge Vaughn Walker said sponsors of Proposition 8, the 2008 ballot initiative targeting gay marriage, were entitled to the information as evidence in their defense against a lawsuit challenging the ban. Walker's decision upholds a previous ruling by a federal magistrate. The ruling could delay a verdict in the trial, the first in federal court to examine if the U.S. Constitution prevents states from outlawing gay marriages.

I think this is not an illegal matter that two persons of same sex are got married. Than why the government try to stop this things.
