A "No" vote on CA Proposition 8 will annul no marriages.

A "Yes" vote on CA Proposition 8 will annul over 10,000 marriages (many with kids.)

Which vote is REALLY "protecting marriage"?


(NOTE: Each and every single vote WILL count. There is no "electoral college" for referendums.)

Although I oppose Proposition 8 (http://www.oeconomist.com/blogs/daniel/?p=689), it will not annul any marriages. For it to do so would violate the combined effects of the federal constitutional provision against ex post facto laws and the Fourteenth Amendment. The state AG has plainly said that Proposition 8 would not act retroäctively; the state Supreme Court, which ruled in favor of the legality of same-sex marriage, would not interpret the Proposition broadly.
