The Campaign for California Families spent years opposing same-sex marriage, with briefs in trial and appellate courts and arguments before the state's highest court last year. But the group now says it was never a true party to the cases and shouldn't have to pay $12,000 in court costs ordered by a Superior Court judge. For the city of San Francisco and civil rights groups involved in the case, the most puzzling aspect of the appeal is the group's willingness to risk more costs and fees over relatively little money.

The Campaign for California Families spent years opposing same-sex marriage, making its case with briefs in the trial and appellate courts, and arguing its position before the state’s highest court early last year.
But the Sacramento-based group now says it was never a true party to the marriage cases and shouldn’t have to pay the $12,000 in court costs ordered by S.F. Superior Court Judge Richard Kramer for those pre-Proposition 8 battles.
