"California Voters to Decide Fate of Prop 8 Same-Sex Marriage Ban in 2024"
California voters will have the opportunity to repeal Proposition 8, which banned same-sex marriage in the state, in the 2024 general election. The proposed constitutional amendment, ACA 5, would remove the language from the state constitution that defines marriage as between a man and a woman. Proposition 8 was approved by voters in 2008 but was later deemed unconstitutional by a federal appeals court. The amendment was passed by the California Senate and Assembly, and if approved by voters, it would affirm marriage equality and remove a discriminatory provision from the state's constitution.
