Oy: Prop 8 Upheld In Cali, But Existed Marriages Are Legal

By a 6-1 margin.

But at least based off this contention....

whether approximately 18,000 same-sex marriages already in effect would be retroactively annulled by the constitutional change or whether they would be preserved, since the amendment does not state explicitly that it would nullify same-sex marriages performed before the change took effect.

The court decided 7-0 to have those marriages before Prop 8 became law stay married.
