In most places, I could see your point, but this is California, one of if not the most progressive state in the union. This state has always had civil rights at the fore front.
That said, I believe it's important that when one judge can dismiss 7 million votes, there is a problem. Those 7 million votes should have more weight than that.
I'm not agreeing with prop 8, hell remember prop 187? Same thing happened.

Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
think about that
