A deeply divided California Supreme Court decreed by a 4-3 margin Thursday that a California’s voter’s ban on homosexual marriage is not legal. Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger immediately said he’d uphold the ruling. Californians and ten other states had banned same sex marriage.
A ballot measure to change the California’s Constitution and ban homosexual marriages is plodding toward the ballot in California, Florida and maybe Arizona. Same-sex marriages are legal in Massachusetts but banned in Oregon, Utah, Oklahoma, Ohio, South Dakota, Montana, Michigan, Kentucky, Georgia, and Arkansas.
Religious conservatives and other opponent are decrying the court’s decision pledging to delay its effective date past to 30-days that is not effective while proponents are festive.
