SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — California, a U.S. trendsetter for progressive policies and a state where the current governor once made news issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples in San Francisco before it was legal, will attempt to enshrine marriage equality in the state constitution.
The effort comes 15 years after a voter-approved initiative, Proposition 8, banned the state from recognizing same-sex marriages. In 2013, the U.S. Supreme Court cleared the way for same-sex marriage in California. The constitutional amendment is still on the books, however, and that worries advocates who think the high court may revisit the 2015 case that legalized gay marriage nationwide.
“It’s absolute poison, it is so destructive and it’s humiliating that this is in our constitution,” said Scott Wiener, a state senator who represents San Francisco.
Wiener and Assembly Member Evan Low of Silicon Valley, both Democrats and members of the California Legislative LGBTQ Caucus, introduced legislation Tuesday to rescind Proposition 8. The measure would need to be approved in the Legislature by a two-thirds vote, and then it will ultimately fall to voters to decide via a referendum.

If you have to go begging to The State to get a license, it's not a right.
Bisexuals have twice as much fun! Right?
A judge who obviously ignored what the word "license" means.California already voted to repeal fake faggot 'marriages' a long time ago. The faggots just found a Democrat appointed faggot judge to repeal it all by himself. Turns out when people, even Californians, learn what faggots really do and what they support, they reject normalizing their mental illnesses.
2008 California Proposition 8 - Wikipedia
en.wikipedia.org
In August 2010, Chief Judge Vaughn Walker ruled that the amendment was unconstitutional under both the Due Process and Equal Protection Clauses of the Fourteenth Amendment,[6]
And why would Vaughn Walker tell the voters of California they had no rights or say in anything?
Vaughn Walker - Wikipedia
On September 29, 2010, Walker announced he would retire at the end of 2010 and return to private practice.[7] He retired at the end of February 2011. On April 6, 2011, Walker told reporters that he is gay and has been in a relationship with a male doctor for about ten years.[8] He was the first known gay person to serve as a United States federal judge,[9] though he did not publicly confirm his sexual orientation until after retiring from the federal bench.[10]
Obviously he wasn't biased or anything, right? lol judicial activism is what we have now; screw the public. Congress and legislatures in most states refuse to honor their oaths and the voters' wishes.
WTF does that have to do with Nashville?Bisexuals have twice as much fun! Right?
It just shows that the trend is in the right direction!WTF does that have to do with Nashville?
Sooner or later one of the future generations is going to be close to 100% bisexual.
We need to amend the United states constitution granting all LGBT people full rights!!!
WTF does that have to do with Nashville?
If LGBT people are US citizens, they already have full rights.
