In June of 2008, the California State Supreme Court gave gays and lesbians the legal right to marry.
This was followed, shortly thereafter, by the collection of signatures to hold a referendum to create an amendment to the California constitution, limiting legal marriage to "one man and one woman," effectively removing the right that had been granted for same-sex couples to marry.
The result has been California's Proposition 8, on the November ballot. In this election, a "yes" vote will change the state constitution to prohibit same-sex marriage; a "no" vote will allow the constitution to stand, unaltered.
