Last November, California's Proposition 8 put the established rights of a minority to a popular vote. As outrageous as that was, it pales against the hypocrisy of religious groups, those who are supposed to "love thy neighbor", to mobilize enough votes to strip away the rights of hundreds of thousands of people.
The Supreme Court of California today cemented the bigotry by finding the proposition constitutional; in California it is constitutional to negate the rights of your fellow citizens. They generously allowed those couples already wed to stay married.
How this works out to equal protection under the laws is beyond me.
