Same-sex Wedding Cake Toppers

The judicial situation of the almost 18,000 married gay couples in California has turned quite complicated since a few days ago.

This past 4th of November it has been approved – with a majority of 53% – a law that is to modify the State Constitution and not allow gay coupled to get legally married anymore.

It is the second time when this issue comes under discussion. Last time it got to a voting issue was in 2000, when Californians defined marriage as a union between a man and a woman, but the Supreme Court declared that law unconstitutional in June, 2007.

Now the voters have decided to change the fundamental law; for all the gay movement freedom fighters it is the end of a long and painful legal battle.

For the moment, gay couples will not be able to legally marry in the State of California; but the issue is what will happen to those who already have a marriage certificate.
