Californians cleared to vote on same-sex marriage ban

The California Supreme Court has cleared the way for Californians to vote in November on whether to ban same-sex marriages in the state.

A gay couple is married in California in June. Voters could void same-sex marriages in the state in November. The court on Wednesday denied a petition to remove the initiative from the state's general election ballots. The unanimous decision was handed down without elaboration.

Hundreds of marriage licenses have been issued to same-sex couples since mid-June, a month after the court overturned the state's laws against such unions. However, on June 2, opponents of same-sex marriage filed for a ballot initiative that would ban such marriages in the state's constitution. Such a ban would overturn the court's May ruling.

  • I don't really care about this issue, but I am glad to see the voters of California stand up to activist judges. I would be pretty pissed if a law I voted for was overturned by some appointed judge on a bench.

  • This is just sad. Any kind of couple, no matter what kind of relationship- homo, hetero, poly, whatever - should have the same security and protection from the government. Isn't this why our Constitution was written? To better protect the American people?
