The San Francisco City Attorney is filing a legal challenge to Prop 8, the Constitutional amendment that appears to have passed (all votes have not been counted, but it's unlikely the outcome will change when they are) in yesterday's election, which eliminated the existing right of same-sex couples to marry. From the San Jose Mercury News:

The San Francisco City Attorney's office says he plans to challenge the validity of a ballot measure that would change the state constitution to ban gay marriage.
Spokesman Matt Dorsey says City Attorney Dennis Herrera will file the legal challenge in the California Supreme Court if the measure passes.

In addition, Gloria Allred announced she's filing a lawsuit on behalf of a married couple, challenging the Proposition's constitutionality.
