PeoplePC - News: "SAN FRANCISCO - The California Supreme Court on Thursday voided the nearly 4,000 same-sex marriages sanctioned in San Francisco this year and ruled unanimously that the mayor overstepped his authority by issuing licenses to gay and lesbian couples. The court said the city illegally issued the certificates and performed the ceremonies, since state law defines marriage as a union between a man and woman. Must wait until courts resolve the constitutionality of state laws that restrict marriages to opposite-sex couples. 'Instead of helping his cause, Mayor Newsom has set back the same-sex marriage"
I have to say I really feel sorry for all the couples that now learn that they are not married anymore, Why because they were told it was okay to do this and they did. Some of them bought homes together,had children and all kinds odd different things.I personally feel that the ones who are already married should be allowed to stay that way, it's not their fault somebody passed a law then toke it away. Why should they be punished? p.s. - I am a straight female, but believe everyone has the right to choose how they want to live their own life.
