In November of 2008, California voters passed proposition 8. The controversial measure passed by a vote of 52% to 48% and banned same-sex marriage in the state.Today's announcement at 10:00 a.m. pacific time by the California Supreme Court with a 6 to 1 vote upheld this ban. Basically, the majority won. Both sides stated that they would appeal if the ruling didn't go in their favor. An interesting note is that the 18,000 marriages that were performed prior to the ban remain legal.
What do you think about this?
