Proposition 8 Upheld In California

The Supreme Court of California has upheld Proposition 8’s ban of same-sex-marriage in the uber wacko left coast state, but also ruled that gay couples who wed before the election will continue to be married under state law. Jammie Wearing Fool reports with gaiety (no pun intended) that freak show queen Perez Hilton just might be on a suicide watch.

LA Now Reports:

The California Supreme Court today upheld Proposition 8’s ban on same-sex marriage but also ruled that gay couples who wed before the election will continue to be married under state law.

The decision virtually ensures another fight at the ballot box over marriage rights for gays. Gay rights activists said they may ask voters to repeal the marriage ban as early as next year, and opponents have pledged to fight any such effort. Proposition 8 passed with 52% of the vote.

By a 52-48 margin, voters approved the measure reinstating a ban on same-sex marriage after the state Supreme Court, in a landmark ruling last May, approved such marriages. Left in limbo were about 18,000 couples who got married in California between May and November of last year.

The case for overturning the initiative was widely viewed as a long shot. Gay rights lawyers had no solid legal precedent on their side, and some of the court’s earlier holdings on constitutional revisions mildly undercut their arguments.

The lovely Carrie Prejean did indeed have some credibility, hey Perez?
