California Supreme Court Upholds Gay Marriage Ban

California Supreme Court is a great disappointment...

Karen Gullo, Bloomberg News: "The California Supreme Court [Tuesday] upheld Proposition 8, a ballot initiative that outlawed same-sex weddings, a practice that is now legal in four other states. The court legalized gay marriage a year ago before California voters overruled it in November. Fifty-two percent of them approved the ban, amending the state constitution to recognize only marriages between a man and a woman. The court ruled 6 to 1 today in favor of upholding Proposition 8, saying it was ruling only on the ability of voters to pass a ballot measure rather than whether gay marriage should be legal."
