Supreme Court bars broadcast of the Prop. 8 trial.

The gay marriage revolution will not be televised. Or put on YouTube.

On Monday, Jan. 11, just hours before the start of a federal trial considering the legality of California's voter-approved ban on gay marriage, Proposition 8, the Supreme Court issued an order barring the trial's broadcast on YouTube.

The press, however, is all over the scene. News outlets including The San Francisco Chronicle are reporting on the trial, in which two gay couples are suing the state in an effort to overturn Prop. 8.
