If Prop 8 passes (which it looks as if it will), what will happen to gay couples who already got married?

Will their marriages be considered no longer valid in California?





I read somewhere that it will be illegal for California to declare invalid marriages that it has already solemnized. Does anyone know the law on this?If Prop 8 passes (which it looks as if it will), what will happen to gay couples who already got married?
I just read this: ';California State Attorney General Jerry Brown has said existing marriages will remain valid, but other legal experts say challenges are likely.';

the same as if any law declared something illegal.





For instance. Slavery. If you bought a slave when it was legal, as soon as it was illegal, you didnt own the slave anymore. Same with gay marriage. Its not legal anymore. Its basically an ';Insta-divorce'; today for everyone who got gay married.
They stay in limbo. I heard that this doesn't affect those who already got married, but future same-sex couples won't be able to marry.





I don't know if the site below will have the additional info but they should point you in the right direction.
Have faith, exit polls are showing that Prop-8 will fail.

As for the marriages, they will be put into a legal limbo.

Simple. They will no longer be valid or recognized by the state.
