Prop 8 in California is dead. the only thing I can say about that is, thou it was stupid to have as a law, people voted on it and it shows what ever we vote on, a judge can override it, that scares me. Judges are not suppose to have that power.
Given time, and another vote, prop 8 would have been shot down by the voters

Until Loving v. Virginia in 1967 an interracial couple could not get married in my state. Left to the voters I don't know how long it would have taken and I'm almost certain that there would still be areas with whites only/blacks only drinking fountains and other facilities.
Prop 8 likely would have never passed had it not been for a shitload of out-of-state money, notably from the Mormon church.
