@Alum California’s courts actually upheld Proposition 8. It was then challenged again in federal court, where a judge declared it unconstitutional in 2010. That decision was affirmed on appeal yesterday.
The 3.25-year period began when the California Supreme Court (CSC) struck down a ban on gay marriage. Voters approved Prop 8 several months later, in order to overturn that decision. The CSC then held that Prop 8 was valid. That’s when the dispute moved to federal court.
@Victoria Thanks for catching that–we’ve made the correction.
