Es scheint, dass das Höchste Gericht Kaliforniens die Propostion 8 unwirksam machen wird.
Sogar Schwarzenegger steht dahinter und sagt: "Es ist unglücklich gelaufen, offensichtlich, aber es ist noch nicht das Ende... Ich denke, wir werden das vieleicht wieder rückgängig machen, wenn das Gericht dazu bereit ist, und uns dann daran machen, uns wieder mit diesem Thema zu befassen... Ich habe gelernt, dass man niemals aufgeben sollte... Sie sollten niemals aufgeben. Sie sollten solange am Ball bleiben, bis es erreicht ist."

California Gay Marriage Ban Ruling Expected Shortly
By On Top Magazine Staff
Published: November 11, 2008

Lynn Holton, a spokeswoman for the California Supreme Court, said she
expects the court to rule as early as this week on a lawsuit that
seeks to invalidate Proposition 8 – the recently-passed constitutional
amendment that yanks back the right of gays and lesbians to marry in
California.

Pro-gay rights groups filed the motion on Wednesday, the day after the
election, arguing that Prop 8 is invalid because it alters the
constitution’s "core commitment to equality for everyone by
eliminating a fundamental right from just one group, lesbian and gay
Californians."

To make such a radial change to the constitution would require the
approval of the legislature first, the pro-gay rights groups say.

More than one-third of California’s lawmakers – including Assembly
Speaker Karen Bass, Senate President pro Tem Don Perata, and incoming
Senate President pro Tem Darrell Steinberg – agree that Prop 8 used an
improper vehicle, the ballot box, to amend the constitution to ban gay
marriage, reports The Associated Press.

In a friend-of-the-court brief in support of the lawsuit, forty-four
members of the California Legislature said they believed the gay
marriage ban should be reversed.

And over the weekend, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger came
out swinging in favor of gay activists who have been protesting the
gay marriage ban in the streets of California since Wednesday.

"It’s unfortunate, obviously, but it’s not the end," Schwarzenegger
said in a CNN interview. "I think that we will again maybe undo that,
if the court is willing to do that, and then move forward from there
and again lead in that area."

Using his own weight lifting experience, the governor said: "I learned
that you should never, ever give up ... They should never give up.
They should be on it and on it until they get it done."
