Patricia Clarkson reenacts Perry v Schwarzenegger




Cameras were banned from the courtroom during testimony for Perry v Schwarzenegger, the lawsuit challenging the amendment to California's constitution banning gay marriages.  In the above clip actress Patricia Clarkson reenacts the testimony of Helen Zia.  Ms Zia married her wife Leah in the few months when gay marriage was legal in California.  Her testimony explains how the marriage made a difference in their lives. She, very touchingly, explains the difference between marriage and domestic partnership.
