Still some hope

While the majority of California voters decided to give in religious sponsored small-minded bigotry, there is a chance the whole thing will be invalidated. See it seems the proper procedures weren't followed before putting it on the ballot and so the ACLU has filed writ against it...

The California Constitution itself sets out two ways to alter the document that sets the most basic rules about how state government works. Through the initiative process, voters can make relatively small changes to the constitution. But any measure that would change the underlying principles of the constitution must first be approved by the legislature before being submitted to the voters. That didn't happen with Proposition 8, and that's why it's invalid.

Thanks to indigoskynet for finding this...
