When asked by a reporter from the Advocate about his perceptions from observing the proceedings thus far, Stuart Milk, nephew of slain Gay Activist Harvey Milk replied: “The hatred that took Harvey away from us is the same hatred that is fighting us on this issue.”
Plaintiff's attorneys called to the stand Harvard professor Nancy Cott, who testified that child rearing was only one of several purposes of marriage, not "the central or defining purpose."
"There has never been a requirement that a couple produce children in order to have a valid marriage," Cott testified, adding that George Washington, the father of the nation, was sterile.
