12. The text of Prop. 8 doesn't "define" marriage at all.

Edited on Sat Nov-08-08 05:02 PM by Unvanguard

It reads: "Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California." That does not suggest that any relationship between a man or a woman constitutes valid or recognized marriage, rather that any marriage that is not between a man and a woman is neither valid nor recognized.

In any case, the courts are not so literal.
