The state Supreme Court legalized same sex marriages, then months later a group put Prop 8 on the ballot and it narrowly passed, invalidating the prior ruling. Now some people and the city of SF sued saying that Prop 8 violated their Constitutional rights of equality. Today a federal court judge sided in their favor saying it was unconstitutional. It will now likely go to an appeal court and possibly the US Supreme Court for final ruling.
