In California, protesters have begun demonstrating against a gay marriage ban that voters approved by a narrow margin on Tuesday. Supporters of same sex marriages have filed three lawsuits asking the Supreme Court to overturn the proposition, arguing that the measure is an illegal constitutional revision. Proposition 8 supporters say the measure is legal and classify the proposition as a limited amendment.
On May 15th the California Supreme Court ruled that a state ban on same-sex marriage was unconstitutional by a vote of 4 to 3. That ruling also elevated sexual orientation to the constitutional status of race and gender, an elevation that provides strong legal protection from discrimination.
