Pacific Gas & Electric enters fight to defeat California's Proposition 8

As it now stands, California's November ballot will introduce Proposition 8 with these words: "Eliminates Right of Same-Sex Couples to Marry." On Tuesday, proponents of the proposition went to court to change that "inflammatory" language, saying it will unfairly influence voters to reject the measure.

The legal challenge came hours after same-sex-marriage advocates welcomed a corporate powerhouse to their campaign efforts - Pacific Gas & Electric, which donated $250,000 to a California gay rights group. The utility said it wanted to support a "fundamental right" for its gay and lesbian employees.

Regardless of how it ends up being worded, the result will be the same if the law is passed; same-sex couples will be unable to marry.
