Marriage is a unique legal status conferred by and recognized by governments

rights and protections. It is also a cultural institution. No other word has
that power and no other status can provide that protection.
Married couples have 1,138 federal rights, protections and responsibilities

A. This would leave gay Californians without the right to marry in the state

that there is no constitutional problem in limiting marriage to a man and a
woman.
Such an outcome probably would trigger a political campaign in California to
