Beat by New York, there just hasn't been a justice team that can get the right numbers of votes in order to negate Prop. 8 and allow gay-marriage to be legal in California. Lowenstein, David. “Prop 8 Might be Repealed in Near Future.” Daily Trojan. Daily Trojan, 3 Feb. 2011. Web. Sep. 2011 Many people who are voted yes on proposition 8 were the ones who believed marriage was a union between a man and a woman.

Prop 8 was voted yes on in the last election but will hopefully be placed on the 2012 ballot for a repeal. Nevius, C.W. "Proposed rules should address problem of nudity." SFGate.com.

Some people believe it is a right, while others feel the nudity is disruptive and a corruption.
