Personally, I couldn't care less about gay marriage. As a Libertarian, I'm a live-and-let-live kinda guy. If two people love each other and want to publicly commit to themselves via an anachronistic institution like marriage, then who am I to stand in their way.
But, there's a larger issue here. The people of California, rightly or wrongly - doesn't matter - have spoken by ratifying Proposition 8. You can talk all you want about the indignity of the majority imposing rule over a minority class, but Democracy can get messy like that.
Tricky subject. But the California referendum system allows for wacky stuff like this. Until the citizens convene a constitutional convention to change the process, they're gonna keep seeing things like this come up.
