Here is a link to the opinion:

Amazingly, the Ninth Circuit DID NOT hold that there was a fundamental right for sodomites to “marry”. In fact, the entire panel rejected the sodomites’ argument on that point. The decision is very, very narrow. It applies ONLY to California, not the rest of the States in the Ninth Circuit.
The decision was 2-1, with Reinhardt and his sock puppet voting to invalidate Prop 8 on different grounds that the pervert Homosexual Judge Walker decided.
This was probably designed to shield the case from Supreme Court review.
The court, at first glance, applied a rational basis test and simply said there is no rational basis for prop 8.
IOW all those who argued mere religion abandoned reason and logic to the homosexuals.
The court also adopted a “born that way test”
By this, the court also is stating there is no rational basis for ANY, and I do mean ANY, other variation of marriage.
