QUOTE By a vote of 6-1 (with Justice Carlos Moreno dissenting), the California Supreme Court has upheld Proposition 8 -- while preserving the marriage licenses of 18,000 same-sex couples who wed in the months prior to the November election. Paul Hogarth is reading the 185-page Court decision as we speak, and will be reporting later today with his legal analysis of the Court's reasoning. http://www.beyondchron.org/articles/BREAKI...rop_8_6962.html discuss. |

I'm really disappointed with this too. Marriage may have originated from religion, but if the state is giving out "marriage licenses" to heterosexual couples, they should give the same treatment to homosexuals. I agree that religious institutions shouldn't have to do same-sex marriages if they don't want to, but just because a few gays have tried to sue them into doing so doesn't mean they should all be punished.
