That law was created thru a vote of the citizens of CA and they spoke. I don't care if gays can marry, it doesn't change my life one iota, but to say it's a states rights issue but then complain to SCOTUS when the states don't support the priveledge of marriage thru a referendum is ludicrous and anti-American. The issue is not about equal rights for gays because many states now insure that, but rather it is about having a word applied to their status to validate for them, their union.

What I do find ironic is that the institution of marriage is primarily a religious invention and those who seek to have it sanction their unions are historically the ones who have shunned religion the most.
