The interwebs exploded today. Why? Because people have mistakenly assumed Prop 8 was overturned by the California Supreme Court. The gay marriage ban was. In May of 2008. Sort of. See, it seems a few people saw this article from a year ago, got excited, teared up, swelled with pride, got confused, and tweeted it. After "semi-celeb" Bonnie Burton, with 3000 followers, RTed it, it blew up. (But don't blame her! She's just an innocent victim of the RT. And she's a super swell lady.)
Anyway, Prop 8 was NOT overturned.
Not yet.

I remember reading somewhere that the CA Supreme Court will give 24 hours notice before announcing their decision.
As we say on Slashdot, "RTFA".
Actually, Prop. 8 was not overturned last year, because it hadn't been passed yet. Rather, the statute defining marriage as between a man and a woman was overturned. Prop. 8 then overturned the Sup. Ct. decision.
how very literal of you to point out. thanks!
Twitter can spread misinformation so fast. How exciting!
