GAY MARRIAGE: Californians Pass Gay Marriage Ban

[The Christian Post] 6 Nov 2008--After weeks of prayer and intense campaigning on both sides, Californians passed a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage.

The measure overturns the state Supreme Court decision in May that legalized gay marriage.

Supporters of Proposition 8 had claimed victory Tuesday night as numbers played out in their favor. But opponents said it was too soon to make the call as many votes remained uncounted.

As of Wednesday morning, however, Prop 8 passed 52 percent to 47.9 percent. Although with nearly 96 percent of the votes tallied, there are absentee and provisional ballots still uncounted, reports indicate the 5 percent margin will be difficult to overcome, according to The Mercury News.
