The move to file a federal lawsuit seeking to overturn Proposition 8 by Theodore B. Olson and David Boise, who were once court room combatants in 2000 in Florida in the famous Gore v. Bush case, has inspired the ire of gay activist who worry that the legal maneuver is premature and poses uncalculated risks. The suit, filed Friday in a San Francisco court on behalf of two gay couples who wanted to marry, but were denied because of Proposition 8, will argue that the California vote initiative denies same-sex couples the basic equal rights and protections guaranteed all Americans under the 14th Amendment. Several gay activist organizations, including the American Civil Liberties Union and the Human Rights Campaign, however, believe it is too soon for the involvement of the courts, and they contend that the ballot box is still the best weapon in the battle over equal rights.
