Gay marriage ban upheld in... California???

Yeah, I know!



But it's true:
Jolting the gay rights movement back a step, a divided California appeals court Thursday upheld the state's ban on same-sex marriage and warned that judges should steer clear of solving the controversy and let voters and legislators decide whether gays and lesbians can wed.

In a 2-1 ruling, the First District Court of Appeal in San Francisco overturned a trial judge's decision last year finding the ban on gay marriage unconstitutional, concluding that California has a right to define marriage as a union between a man and a woman.

Wow! They not only overturned it, but they used the exact same argument we conservatives are using: let the voters decide.

Oh, don't worry, liberals. I'm sure the 9th Circus Court of Appeals will "fix" this.
