Prop 8

Proposition 8 was a California State ballot proposition that amended the state Constitution to restrict the definition of marriage to a union between a man and a woman. It overrode a recent California Supreme Court decision that had recognized same-sex marriage in California as a fundamental right. The official ballot title language for Proposition 8 is "Eliminates Right of Same-Sex Couples to Marry." The entirety of the text to be added to the constitution was: "Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California."


This terrible proposition passed in California with the last election (by a narrow margin of 52.2% to 47.8% I might add!! Anyway, I thought this was a pretty cool commentary by Keith Olbermann that a friend sent to me this morning regarding the passing of Prop 8.
