This will be a short rant.

Since it all seemed so clear to me. Equal rights are equal rights for all.

The definition of minority means that they deserve protection from the majority.

The court found away around this and voted they couldn't overturn the unpopular vote on a state constitutional amendment.

I'm very disappointed in this state and the people that voted for prop 8. Many of whom are minorities themselves, voting to take rights from a minority.

Further, separation of church and state was abused, violated. Since the money to back prop 8 came from the mormon and catholic churches, disrespectfully. Tolerance as long as you're like us, oh, and we demand you tolerate us too.

Good going... do unto others as you would have done unto you?

I'm sure there will be more eloquent posts. 

I just wanted to commend a step backwards by a state claiming to be progressive.

I'm disgusted.

Update: It has been brought to my attention thet the California Supreme Court may have set this up for the U.S. Supreme Court.

By upholding the 18000 marriages unanimously and following the state constitution and upholding prop 8 they have created inequality of class within the class.

It was suggested this was disguised brilliance. That it sets up a day of reckoning in the United States Supreme Court, which can overturn the people's vote on prop 8 and defend the minority.

A power the CA Supreme Court did not have.

I hope they're right.
