The California Supreme Court has upheld Proposition 8 by a vote of 6-1. However, the 18,000 same-sex marriages performed before Proposition 8 took effect will remain valid. So I guess Philip and I are still married, although that feels like little comfort at this point. Moments after the decision was handed down, hundreds of people outside the California Supreme Court began chanting "Shame on you, shame on you." The decision virtually ensures another ballot measure fight over marriage in the state, and now there's talk that archconservative Ted Olson will take up a federal case challenging Prop 8.
