California Right to Marry and Repeal Proposition 8 Amendment
A "yes" vote
Supports this constitutional amendment to:
repeal Proposition 8 (2008), which defined marriage as a union between one man and one woman, and
declare that a "right to marry is a fundamental right" in the California Constitution.
A "no" vote
Opposes this constitutional amendment, thus keeping Proposition 8 (2008), which defined marriage as a union between one man and one woman, in the California Constitution.
Summary
The amendment would repeal Proposition 8 (2008), which defined marriage in the state constitution as between one man and one woman reversing a state judicial ruling that legalized same-sex marriage in California. The amendment would also add language to section 7.5 of Article I of the state constitution establishing a right to marry as furtherance of the right to life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness, and privacy and the Due Process and Equal Protection Clauses of the state constitution.
