"The California Supreme Court upheld a ban on same-sex marriage Tuesday, ratifying a decision made by voters last year. The ruling comes at a time when several state governments have moved in the opposite direction.
The court’s opinion, written by Chief Justice Ronald M. George for a 6-to-1 majority, noted that same-sex couples still had a right to civil unions. Such unions, the opinion said, gives those couples the ability to “choose one’s life partner and enter with that person into a committed, officially recognized and protected family relationship that enjoys all of the constitutionally based incidents of marriage.”"

I'm glad that it was upheld but it scares me that the courts feel like it is their decision. The people of California have spoken many times and that should be good good enough!
Soooo relieved! We are so lucky to have someone who worked as hard as you did!! thanks for being such an inspiration!
