"In 2008, the voters put a ban on LGBT marriage in the constitution. That language is still in there. It's not enforceable today. It's a dead letter because the Supreme Court says people have a fundamental right to marry. But if the court was able to overturn its decision on same-sex marriage, then that dead-letter language would come back to life," said State Senator Scott Wiener, who co-authored Proposition 3, which would enshrine the right to marry in the state constitution.
"By making marriage a fundamental right without any other definition, it really opens up Pandora's box and would allow legal avenues for all sorts of relationships to be considered," says Jonathan Keller, president and CEO of the California Family Council.
