Zelda, you ignorant slut.
Mark Leno claims that Prop. 22 only applies to out of state same sex marriages. That proposition reads as follows :
“Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California.”
Out of that text, he interprets it to apply to out of state marriages, not those conducted within California. That’s why said his bill is legal.
He also claims that since marriage is mentioned in several places in the Calif. law books, including other bills passed by previous legislatures, his bill simply adds to the laws. In Calif. the legislature cannot override a law passed by the people such as Prop. 22, so he says that he’s simply wanting to change the definition of marriage as it appears elsewhere in the Calif. family code. Fine logic, isn’t it?
Anyway, the Calif. Supreme Court is due to rule on marriage in the next few months. He may well get his wish then to marry another man and make his political statement.
