The Supreme Court of California has officially upheld the anti-gay marriage Proposition 8, which was passed by voters last November. Backed by conservative and religious groups, Proposition 8 limits marriage to a man and a woman. However, 18,000 gay marriages performed in 2008 will be upheld. The CA Supreme Court's 6-to1 ruling was announced at 10:00 AM PST with the release of a massive, 186-page document. The Court voted unanimously to preserve the marriages of nearly twenty-thousand gay couples. Only Justice Carlos Moreno (formerly the only Democrat on the California Supreme court) voted to strike down Proposition 8.
