The California Supreme Court has (unfortunately) upheld the ballot initiative which banned gay marriage. However, couples who married before the ballot measure (and that's in the tens of thousands) will be allowed to stay married.
This is very strange in that you will have two classes of people. Those who are married and can stay married, and those who wish to join those ranks who are married but are unable to do so. I can't recall anything like this happening before. In some ways, it would seem fairer to throw them all out, but then again, taking something like this away from people would also be cruel.
Despite this set back, I predict that within 20 years you'll have a US Supreme Court ruling that comes down on the right side of this issue.

I'm surprised they allowed this and cancel out previous marriages.
