Calif. Justices Appear Likely to Uphold Ban on Gay Marriage

During oral arguments Thursday, California Supreme Court Chief Justice Ronald George and Justice Joyce Kennard, who helped form the 4-3 majority that let same-sex couples wed for six months last year, gave all indications that Proposition 8 -- the measure that took that right away -- must be accepted as the will of the people. Gays and lesbians can take comfort in the fact that the justices indicated that the 18,000 same-sex marriages that took place before Prop 8 are safe.

Same-sex marriage is history in California.

That was quickly apparent Thursday when two justices who backed marriage for gays and lesbians last year signaled they intend to uphold the measure that took that right away.
