Proposition 8 amended the state constitution of California to eliminate the right of same-sex couples to marry.

Article I. Section 7.5 was added to the California Constitution, to read:Sec. 7.5. Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California.

This constitutional amendment has since been overturned, although that decision is currently under appeal.
