Those Already Married In California

Will not be divorced:

The California Attorney General, Equality California, and the nation's leading LGBT legal groups agree that the marriages of the estimated 18,000 same-sex couples who married between June 16, 2008 and the possible passage of Proposition 8 are still valid in the state of California and must continue to be honored by the state.

Now those 18,000 married couples will be the prime argument for reversing this in due course. At the ballot box. This is how inter-racial marriage became accepted: because of the wonderfully reassuring fact of inter-racial couples, even in states where miscegenation was still outlawed. Chin up, guys. Be proud. You are the tip of the spear. Become the change we want to see in the world.
