It will be interesting to read the basis for the decision if the CSC rules to uphold Prop 8 and to uphold the marriages performed. The two are totally contradictory. If the court decides to invalidate the marriages, it will be a mess and paperwork nightmare for everyone.

I am anticipating the decision not going our way. But if the marriages are upheld, it will weaken Prop 8 and make it easier to bring forth an initiative to repeal it which is definitely in the works. EQ CA is trying for 2010 but I think we stand a better chance in 2012.

I am pissed that my civil right to marry was put up for a popular vote. I am pissed that it can be stripped away from me by a 52% simple majority. I am pissed that my rights were even argued in court.

Look at it this way tdogg; you did gain some new allies and supporters. Fifty-two percent to forty-eight percent is not a gap that can't be overcome. I'm sure more people wil come on board if they are told the truth and see what you're all about.
