But remember - the vote was back in December - not much changed yesterday. The Supreme Court had a specific issue on the table - was Prop 8 done legally, not if it was the right thing to do.
If the court had gone any other way, it would be a huge plus for the anti-gay marriage people who would yet again point to "activist judges" for "forcing" things on the majority of the people who are not yet ready for Gay Marriage. It will come back to another vote and Gay Marriage will be here - just not now, at least, not for most gay people.
The good news that so many people seem to be forgetting in all this is that the 18K marriages performed during the open window are not dissolved. Those marriages still stand.

Hopefully enough of the old people will die off, and they can have a re-vite soon
