Prop 3: Marriage is on California ballot this November

[RandySF]

Same-sex marriage was legalized nationwide in 2015.

So why are California voters voting whether to recognize marriages regardless of race and sex this November?

Proposition 3 would not actually change who is allowed to get married in California but will remove language from the California Constitution saying that marriage is exclusively between a man and a woman.

In 2008, California voters approved Proposition 8, which added language to the state Constitution that “only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California.” That ballot measure was approved with 52% support and 48% in opposition.

2. Here is a very clear description of Proposition 3 from Calmatters and why I'll be voting for it.

"What would it do?
Proposition 3 would enshrine the right to same-sex marriage into the California constitution, repealing Proposition 8 — a measure approved by voters in 2008 that defined marriage as between a man and a woman. In practice, the ballot measure would not change who can marry."

3. CA has way too many damn propositions on the ballott each election. Why can't our governing groups at the city, county

and state level do their jobs and pass new laws to handle the things they want the voters to vote on? In our election we're voting on if a local hospital's lease should be renewed. Ridiculous!
