7. As someone said earlier - the CA Supremes were for equal marriage
in their earlier, split decision. This question was mostly about the Constitutional process. So they've affirmed the right of the slim majority to strip the rights of the minority. Hopefully someone is filing today to strip Mormons and Catholics of their right to marry.

Congrats to the 18,000 first class gay and lesbian couple who remain validly recognized by the State - and I'm terribly sorry to the rest of my brothers and sisters who still have to fight for their basic rights to be recognized in their state. I'm still amazed that here in NC we've managed to keep this issue off of the ballot, or we'd certainly have an amended Constitution here by now.
