In a heartbreaking defeat for the gay-rights movement, California voters put a stop to gay marriage, creating uncertainty about the legal status of 18,000 same-sex couples who tied the knot during a four-month window of opportunity opened by the state's highest court.

This is a very unfortunate situation.
California need to define marriage in a more inclusive way.
I think there should be a census-like nature to it. The non-heterosexual community should be able to enter into a legal union if they so wish. That's all that "marriage" is. The ceremony, the 2-hour Catholic, The Hawaii Clifftop that's what makes it a wedding. If two people want to hook up for life, why does it matter if they are the same sex or not the same sex?
Also, if they are veted as a heterosexual couple is for adoption then why the hell not should they not be able to adopt? I'm not sure if that right was taken too with Prop 8 but there's is talk of it in the US.
Bleh.
Dictating people's lifestyles--their lives, actually--not cool.
