The Rev Jesse Jackson has called for California’s ban on gay marriage to be struck down.
The Baptist minister and civil rights activist spoke at a gathering outside the San Francisco appeals court where the latest hearings on the ban are taking place.
Rev Jackson has previously opposed Proposition 8 but stopped short of supporting gay marriage.
But in a speech on Monday, he said: “Marriage is based on love and commitment – not on sexual orientation. I support the right for any person to marry the person of their choosing.”
The gathering outside the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals courthouse was organised by Marriage Equality USA. HERE
