The monkeys in the California Supreme Court finally got one right.

By a 6-1 margin:

The California Supreme Court today upheld Proposition 8′s ban on same-sex marriage but also ruled that gay couples who wed before the election will continue to be married under state law.

Although the court split 6-1 on the constitutionality of Proposition 8, the justices were unanimous in deciding to keep intact the marriages of as many as 18,000 gay couples who exchanged vows before the election.

Gabriel Malor at AOSHQ pats himself on the back (he’s entitled) for calling it…and predicts the impending hissy fit:

This is the split decision I predicted. It represents partial victory for both sides, though an empty one for most gay marriage advocates.

Whatever the outcome, I expect bad behavior out of some gay marriage advocates. Rallies are already planned in WeHo. Keep in mind that they do not represent all or even most gay marriage supporters (after all, more straight people opposed Prop 8 than gay!). The violent, bigoted acts of gay marriage supporters in November were domestic terrorism. There’s just no other way to say it. I, and other gay marriage supporters, condemned it then. And I preemptively condemn it now.

Of course this isn’t over. Expect the Gay Rights advocates to make a run at the US Supreme Court as well as putting this issue back on the ballot in 2010.

(And 2012, 2014, 2016, 2018…basically every two years until they get their way)

Keep in mind…the ruling affirmed EVERY SINGLE RIGHT gays currently have under California’s Domestic Partnership laws…they just can’t call their unions “marriage”.

How long until Mario releases his next video calling the Supreme Court Justices “stupid bitches”?
