It is interesting to note the decision wording. It appears the goal of Prop 8 was understood by the California State Supreme Court. Page 11 first paragraph makes it clear that Prop 8 did not change the rights of any Californian. "Proposition 8 does not abrogate any. ..state constitutional rights, but instead carves out a narrow exception applicable only to access to the designation of the term “marriage".
How great to read on page 12 of the decision the following as well: "Having been approved by a majority of the voters at the November 4, 2008 election, the initiative measure lawfully amends the California Constitution to include the new provision as article I, section 7.5."
