California Voters Support Proposition 3 to Enshrine Same-Sex Marriage Rights, Repealing Proposition 8 from 2008

Nov 6, 2024, 05:02 AM

California voters are currently deciding on Proposition 3, a ballot measure aimed at amending the state constitution to protect marriage as a fundamental right for all individuals, regardless of gender or sexual orientation. This proposition seeks to repeal Proposition 8, which was approved by voters in 2008 and defined marriage as between a man and a woman, effectively stripping same-sex couples of their legal right to marry. Early election results indicate that a majority of Californians support the amendment, and projections from ABC News suggest that Proposition 3 will pass, thereby enshrining same-sex marriage rights in the state's constitution.
