The constitution is meant to protect minorities, not the majority. If this amendment were to stand then the people could also vote to make it illegal for disabled people to marry non-disabled people, or that only people of the same race could marry each other.

If we let citizens vote on rights like these then we’d still have states where interracial marriage was illegal! That’s why we have constitutions…to protect the minority from the majority.

Sexual orientation is a “protected class” in the state of California. You cannot take away only the rights of a protected class without a compelling state interest. Religion is not a compelling state interest. A revision to the state constitution, which this is, requires a 2/3 majority vote in the house and senate before it can go to the people for a vote. This will never pass the house and senate as they were the ones that legalized same sex marriage in the first place.


This is far from over!
