All that is quite nice, but it diverts attention from the real issue. Fact is that Prop 8 should have never ever become law in the first place. Fact is that all Christian Churches are guilty of a blatant violation of the separation between state and church. That suddenly doesn't seem to matter anymore, nor is it being addressed in any way. It is my considered opinion that the right to vote should only be granted, if a person has a certain IQ and passes a test of general political knowledge! If that would have been done, California would have never ever ended up in that mess. The legislature is equally to blame for signing something as stupid as Prop. 8 into law. They did know but, but still had to crawl in the ass of a certain, completely idiotic voter group, just to ensure their re-election. So the situation hasn't really changed, this country still hasn't made it into the 19th century!!
Everyone who thinks, that with the repeal of Prop. 8 they've made a huge step towards marriage equality, let me tell you this... You're just kidding yourself!!!
Considering the time it will take for Prop. 8 to go through Appeals and Supreme Court... considering how long it will take for the federal marriage law and all directly connected laws to be changed... It would take at least another 15 to 20 years to accomplish marriage equality. And that is actually a positive spin and doesn't take into consideration that nobody would attempt to kill that bill.
Considering the direction this country is heading, there won't be any marriage equality... at least not in our lifetime!! That's a fairly realistic view, without being too pessimistic!!!
