It is hard to believe that a year has passed since the California Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage. An estimated 18,000 couples were married between June and November of 2008, when voters approved Proposition 8, which amended the state Constitution to define marriage as only between a man and a woman.
In celebration of those 18,000 who were legally married last year, and those who still wish to be, same-sex marriage advocates have planned a number of rallies across the state today and Wednesday. Events will include a call for change to California Marriage laws and will include information about the 2010 ballot measure to re-amend the Constitution to include same-sex marriage.
