Have you ever thought of this?
California is a heartbeat away from declaring bankruptcy. (Heard it on PRI's "Marketplace," please don't try to deny it.)
Weddings are a multi-million (if not multi-billion) dollar industry. That's money going in to venues, food vendors, fancy attire, florists.... you get the idea.
So, yeah, citizens of California. Make it so that the thousands of couples in your state who actually want to get married and pour all this money back in to your economy CAN'T. That seems reasonable.
Californians are EXTREMELY proud of their state. (This is not a fact I heard on "Marketplace," but I don't know anyone, Californian or not, who would disagree with me.) I'm just suggesting the people who are squeamish about gay marriage take one for the team.
Could the Supreme Court, by the way, have chosen a more "try-to-please-everyone" judgement? You can't say that some people are more equal than others. That's not your job.
Thanks for listening. And stop being so stubborn when there's an answer to your financial troubles right in front of your face.

I think at this point a "hear, hear" is really just repetitive.
But, seriously, I think this fight will continue to go back and forth for either side as long as the citizens have that much power to amend the state Constitution. Right now, I can't foresee a clear victory for either side until all loopholes/grey areas/conflicts/etc. are dealt with and it comes up for a final, decisive vote.
