Here's a link to an article which outlines the basis on which the California Supreme Court upheld the validity of Proposition 8, banning same sex "marriage". They didn't make it retroactive, and they didn't take away any of the rights of marriage, only the right to say they are married.
Note that the lone dissenter in the 6-1 decision is the only Democrat on that court, and that the members of that court can be recalled by the voters.
No balls at all.
Just goes to show how long it takes to rid the populace of prejudice. Ask any black person.

Leanderthal,
I don't see the link, but that is OK. My take on the issue is this though. Given a chance to vote on the issue of "Gay Marriage" I vote no. Not out of hate but out of old fashioned beliefs. That's it. The flip side is; if the other voters or the courts give it the green light- then that is a world that I can live in. Honestly what would the difference be for most citizens?
My deal is is this; go ahead and issue proper marriage licenses to all that want them. Then everyone, please shut the hell up about it. I for one am tired of hearing about it.
