are we the first state to grant these rights and then take them away?
The voters said no...
The Judges said yes...
Now the constitution is being changed to take away rights...

No, I don't see this as alarming.... it sucks for gay people but it was voted on. That's democracy, though surprising- after all it is CALIFORNIA!! I live in arguably one the most uptight states in the country, we allow gay marriage and no one really seems to mind...
Everyone who is already married will retain that marriage as it was performed while gay marriage was 'legal'. At least that's how I understand it.
