How will California's Proposition 8 affect San Francisco?

Answer 1

Proposition 8 has affected the City of San Francisco the same as it has affected all of California, except that the impact is magnified as San Francisco has a very large gay and lesbian community and is perhaps the gayest city in the United States. The specific impact of Proposition 8 on Californians is that no new marriage licenses can be issued to same-sex couples, who must now settle for domestic partnerships, the scope of which has been incrementally expanded to the point where they are statutorily identical to legal marriage except for the use of the word "marriage."
