On November 4, 2008 the people of California voted to amend the State Constitution to include this statement: "Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California." Why was this vote and amendment necessary? No doubt there are many diverse reasons why 52.1% of the people voted in favor of this amendment, but the single and primary issue involved is the use of the word MARRIAGE when applied to a union of same sex couples. It is the word MARRIAGE that proponents of this amendment want to retain as applicable only to a union of one man and one woman. Opponents of this amendment, in contrast, are not satisfied with just living together or partaking of all legal rights through available DOMESTIC PARTNERSHIP arrangements, but insist on using the term MARRIAGE for their same sex partnerships.

The future of Prop 8 is now in the hands of Chief U.S. Judge Vaughn Walker but no matter which way he rules, his decision will be appealed all the way to the U. S. Supreme Court. However, this issue will not be resolved until the Chief Judge of the universe, the honorable Lord Jesus Christ, will speak the final word.
