Yep simple majority in CA. This is why our State Constitution is the size of the phone book. I wish that is was 2/3 like the US constitution but it isn't.

I've got news for you, UtahDan. This has nothing to do with conservative vs. liberal. Mormons found a strange bed fellow--Obama's base.
A bed fellow who shared a conservative value with them.

Students and parents are still free to organize an optional trip to watch their lesbian teacher get married. Teachers still can hand out the book "King and King" to students. Parents have no more or no less right to opt their kids out of the California education system.

Thank goodness for Prop 8. It saved out children from almost certain doom.
Lesbian teachers can't get married in California anymore, genius.

If a teacher does teach those things they will have a MUCH more difficult time defending the appropriateness of it, had Prop 8 not passed. Not that any school is handing out "King and King" in California anyway.

Why didn't they just go this route in the first place then? What's the point of having a consitution and not just legal code? Are other constitutions like this?

Oh...I get it. I'm the a-hole because I find it funny that the thugs, and vandals, and liars from the opposition lost, and are crying about it. If that makes me an a-hole in your book, then fine by me!

There's only two people in that picture. I don't really know them, but neither looks like a thug, a vandal, or a liar. Are you guys close?

You and I may be in the same church, but we certainly don't share the same religion.

Civil unions are difficult to defend as appropriate? Who knew?
