You’re starting a pool as to whether court action will be brought and the will of the people will be overturned?

Even California voters voted down same sex marriage on a day (Nov. 4, 2008) that saw a massive Dem voter turn out. Not to mention the wording on the ballot concerning “rights”. Looking for the gays to focus their resources on stunts that threaten legislators and judges. They can't win an election.

Proposition 8
Main article: California Proposition 8 (2008)
Proposition 8 is an initiative constitutional amendment that, if passed, would eliminate the right of same sex couples to marry.

This “narrowly” is just another example of how “journalists” slip their opinions and editorials into the news. Just give us the facts. If it’s 53%, then tell us 53%. We’ll decide whether it was narrow or wide.
