Today the California Supreme Court upheld proposition 8. In a nutshell it said that gays in California have access to all privileges under the law except the name "marriage" and that the people have the last say. And that's ok by them. It was an opinion based solely on the law.
Although they upheld the Prop they also upheld the validity of the 18,000 marriages performed prior to Prop 8. They seemed to want to have it both ways.
I found one part very ominous. That the majority may trample on the rights of the minority. That may set a precedent that will bite someone in the ass somewhere along the line.
Here is the link to the 185 page opinion:

I do not know what's next but we need to concentrate on New England and New York.
Be well brothers,
