The California Supreme Court upheld the definition of marriage, and the will of the people.
The California Supreme Court on Tuesday upheld same sex marriages that were already performed but upheld voters' rights to ban gay marriage through the state constitution.
An estimated 18,000 gay couples tied the knot before the law took effect. The ruling suggests that gay couples can be afforded equivalent rights to heterosexual married couples but perhaps under a different name.
Gay rights demonstrators flooded the courthouse before the decision and immediately started protesting the ruling. Supporters of gay marriage had argued that the Legislature should have approved the change to the California constitution because of the vote's impact on the equal protection clause.

I live in California and cannot tell you how surprised I am by this. This is the same Supreme Court that created the problem in the first place. I can tell you this, if the decision had gone the other way, I would have been protesting. The Courts do not have the right to tell us that any voted upon decision is wrong. Will of the People still means something after all.
Amen sister!
Heterosexuals have ruined the "sanctity of marriage" without me and my gay brothers and sisters. Just look at the divorce rates. Eventually, the constitution will win out.....in my lifetime.
