Proposition 8, the initiative passed by voters in 2008, is unconstitutional, a violation of the rights of gay and lesbian people who want to get married.
In this article you will read in detail what is going on with this case of same-sex marriage. One big supprising thing to me is not the ruling but the reason why they ruled it unconstitutional as this attorney explains it:
Instead of ruling that there is a constitutional right to same-sex marriage in all circumstances, the court issued a narrower ruling. The judges said that the peculiar circumstances in California – a right to same-sex marriage withdrawn by a vote of the public – was unconstitutional.
huh?
