SAN FRANCISCO (AP) – The California Supreme Court has upheld a voter-approved ban on same-sex marriage, but it also decided that the estimated 18,000 gay couples who tied the knot before the law took effect will stay wed.

The decision Tuesday rejected an argument by gay rights activists that the ban revised the California constitution’s equal protection clause to such a dramatic degree that it first needed the Legislature’s approval.

The announcement of the decision caused outcry among a sea of demonstrators who had gathered in front of the San Francisco courthouse awaiting the ruling.

THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP’s earlier story is below.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP)—The nation’s most populous state stood poised to recapture the spotlight in the debate over gay marriage as California’s highest court prepared to rule on the legality of a voter-approved ban on same-sex unions.

The California Supreme Court planned to hand down its decision Tuesday in a series of lawsuits seeking to overturn November’s Proposition 8. Gay rights advocates maintain the ballot measure so dramatically revised the state constitution’s equal protection clause that it needed the Legislature’s approval before it could be put to voters

      Ironically, according to Wikipedia, during the Spanish Civil War, it was sometimes known as the anti-fascist salute.

    This is proof positive that the Courts and the Press are out of touch with reality.

    Prop. 8 was an AMENDMENT TO THE CALIFORNIA STATE CONSTITUTION.

    It was not a Legislative Amendment that is re-viewable by a Court.

    It was Constitutional Law that the Court chose to ignore, just like so many other Constitutional Laws.

    The Courts here took it up & the Press didn’t call bullshit on it, but instead cheerleaded (sp?) the effort to overturn it, when all they had to do was listen to Meghan Kelly (a Lawyer) on Fox News who said it would be upheld if the Courts dared to even look at it.

    This was nothing but a dog & pony show for the bone-smokers in Hollywood & the Bay Area.

    To overturn Prop. 8 would have been an impeachable offense and the Court knew it.

    Hells bells, in a just world, the 3 Justices that joined in the dissenting opinion should be facing impeachment & removal from office.

    GRRR!! – :gun: :evil:
