What kind of people were in the California gold rush?
Men from all walks of life went to the goldfields. Farmers, labourers, educated teachers - thousands of them went to try their luck on the goldfields, often leaving their wives and families until they "struck ot rich", which many of them never did. Few women went to the diggings to dig - some went to be entertainment for the men, as this vocation also paid extremely well. There were a great many Chinese immigrants, hard-working people, who also came to the goldfields and were resented for their luck and strong work ethic in persisting until they found substantial parable gold.
When was same-sex marriage legislation passed in California?
In some ways it already has. On August 4, 2010, a federal judge ordered the state of California to resume permitting same-sex couples to marry. That order, however, has been stayed (delayed) pending appeal by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. When the 9th Circuit issues a decision (expected in the beginning of 2012), same-sex marriage will either be (re-)legalized or (re-)banned in the state of California.
How many redwood trees are in California?
The Redwood trees have almost entirely been logged out of existence. Of the Old growth ancient Redwoods that used to inhabit the area, less then 2% are still standing today.
The trees that are still around are very small in comparison to the ancient trees that used to exist. An ancient Redwood could grow up to 300-350 feet in height and over 25 feet across at the base of the tree. The average life of a Redwood is between 2000-2500 years.
...but again, human ignorance and greed have stripped almost all of those trees from the planet. Of the 2% that are left, most of those exist on private timber land and are awaiting to be logged. Only a small handful of the trees have been saved and even fewer of them are in our national forests... in fact, Redwood National Forest has TWO logging mills in it.

Redwood trees are not even close to be logged out of existence. Go to Northern California and see all the National Parks that protect thousands upon thousands of both second growth and especially old growth.
---(The above 3 lines of text are NOT TRUE. I lived out in Redwood country for 4 years and was even involved in activism to try and save the last of the Redwoods. Certainly there are parks protecting some Old-growth Redwoods but they are very few and far between. The rest of the forests have been logged which include about 98-99% of the forest. This statement can be validated by the fact that one of the last old-growth Redwood logging companys (Pacific Lumber) went bankrupt a year ago because they had logged all their forests. The Redwoods have almost been logged to extinction, that is a fact. Besides, before California was colonized, there were around 2 million Redwoods standing. If there really are "thousands upon thousands" of trees still left, that still means that only 2-4% of the virgin forest still stands which means that the majority has been logged.)
