The Northern California Nevada Conference and Southern 10 California Nevada Conference of the United Church of Christ; General Synod of the United Church 11 of Christ; and Universal Fellowship of Metropolitan Community Churches and Unitarian 12 Universalist Association represent faith traditions whose clergy were solemnizing legal marriages for 13 same-sex couples in their California congregations ­ until Proposition 8 passed.

The Unitarian Universalist Legislative Ministry 19 Action Network, CA PAC and California Council of Churches Church IMPACT engaged in political 20 lobbying and together spent under $63,000 opposing Proposition 8. 21 Amici are united in believing that Proposition 8 impermissibly seeks to impose anti- 22 homosexual attitudes and doctrines of certain sects. They believe the accompanying brief may be 23 useful to the Court both in evaluating the testimony of Proponents' expert witness, Professor 24 Kenneth P. Miller, in considering the status and relative power in our society of gay and lesbian 25 citizens, and in weighing the religious-liberty interests at stake. 26 27 28 MOTION FOR LEAVE TO FILE AMICUS CURIAE BRIEF - 09-cv-02292-VRW -7- Case3:09-cv-02292-VRW Document558 Filed02/03/10 Page9 of 15 1 III. 2 CONCLUSION For the foregoing reasons, leave to file the accompanying amicus curiae brief should be 3 granted. 4 DATED: February 3, 2010 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 MOTION FOR LEAVE TO FILE AMICUS CURIAE BRIEF - 09-cv-02292-VRW Respectfully submitted, s/ ERIC ALAN ISAACSON ERIC ALAN ISAACSON ERIC ALAN ISAACSON erici@csgrr.com STACEY M.
