"The pervs will attempt to qualify a ballot initiative in an attempt to reverse the Prop 8 vote. The pervs will also continue to indoctrinate the children in our government schools and keep churning out "gay-friendly" voters.

That's why I'm postponing any glee from this ruling. It's only a matter time, measured in years not decades, until California amends this amendment.

The margins of victory for "traditional" marriage have been shrinking everywhere it's been tested on the state level. California is no different. Without the record black turnout last November, this wouldn't have passed. Those blacks won't turn out again, in those numbers if Barry isn't on the ticket. I'll look for this to come up again in any year other than 2012.

The real test won't be in the states, but in the federal judiciary and in the Federal law. I still don't think there's anywhere near the votes necessary to repeal DOMA, nor will this Supreme Court (even with Sotomayer) rule DOMA unconstitutional. So, for the foreseeable future, the Federal government won't recognize these homosexual marriages. It's a least something on which to hang your hat.

It seems this may be a strong point for states rights. Gays have the right to marry in other states. You are free to relocate to one of them if you so desire.

No, I don't think so. The demographics of this state are such that Mexicans will own it in mere years, and while they are all for socialism, they are not for the homo agenda. Democrats pandered to the homos because they were a large special interest group who could propel Democrats to victory, but the growing influence of Mexicans will make homos irrelevant.

—That’s why I’m postponing any glee from this ruling. It’s only a matter time, measured in years not decades, until California amends this amendment—

It’s great that Prop 8 passed, and was essentially upheld by the CA SCT. It’s NOT so great that it only passed 52-48 percent—and most white (and Asian) voters voted AGAINST Prop 8. That shows some serious moral weakness in California, if not across the enitre “Fruited Plain.”
