California Proposition 8 (2008)
Proposition 8
, known informally as
Prop 8
, was a
California ballot proposition
and a
state constitutional amendment
passed in the
November 2008 California state elections
. The proposition was created by opponents of
same-sex marriage
in advance of the
California Supreme Court
's May 2008 appeal ruling,
In re Marriage Cases
, which followed the short-lived
2004 same-sex weddings controversy
and found the previous ban on same-sex marriage (
Proposition 22
, 2000)
unconstitutional
. Proposition 8 was ultimately ruled unconstitutional by a federal court (on different grounds) in 2010, although the court decision did not go into effect until June 26, 2013, following the conclusion of proponents' appeals.
