They not only violated peoples civil rights with it but the violated the Constitution of the U.S. as well.
I hope it goes to the Supreme Court because its a Constitutional issue.
Either we are going to stick to the Constitution or we are lost.
Oh and RJF it was already legal here. These people that created the Prop and the Campaign to vote yes on it are just straight up bigots and religious zealots .

Agreed completely. the argument FOR Prop 8 was extremely flawed to begin with, and they foolishly had announce their Christian-Catholic agendas. If the supporters of Prop 8 had seriously wanted any chance of gay marriage to be banned, they should have just left that part about religion out. It had set itself up for failure to begin with.
For the same reason, I'm fairly certain it'll be thrown out of the courts, even if the Supreme Court right now is slightly right leaning. Realistically, I very much doubt Prop 8 will pass in courts. That fact that it got passed in CA is of little consequence since it'll get thrown out in courts anyhow. Everything else is no more than a publicity stunt.
Not sure about what you mean by bigotry, but I agree about Religious Zealotry.
Self-Righteousness (not just the bible thumpers) here in CA is also never in short supply.
