All this happened in federal court with Proposition 8.
The California Supreme Court upheld the process and acceptance of Proposition 8 shortly after that vote took place.
After that happened, the homosexual activists, who were pissed off, decided to sue in federal court instead. It was a federal judge who overturned Proposition 8 as a violation of federal law, not state law.
Right, but it’s still a crock.
The California voters who supported it were disenfranchised. And the US Constitution (even in the amendments) does not mention sexual preference among the protected classes.
Age at which one may marry varies by state.
Any man may marry any women WHO is not already married, is not a close relation, is of age.
No one may marry “anyone they damn well please”. No state permits that, even those that have approved same sex marriage. There are still the above constraints which apparently are constitutional.
