[poll id=”168″]

Today, “the state’s top court will rule on whether to uphold or strike down Proposition 8, a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage. The justices will also decide whether the state will continue to recognize the estimated 18,000 same-sex marriages carried out in 2008,” according to the L.A. Times.

What is likely to happen?

“Based on comments the justices made at a hearing earlier this year, most legal experts expect the court to uphold Proposition 8 but continue to recognize the marriages of same-sex couples wed before the November election.”

Regardless of the outcome, the Orange County Equality Coalition will be holding a public rally at 6 p.m. today at the Old County Courthouse, located at 211 W. Santa Ana Blvd., in Santa Ana.The Harvey Milk Stonewall Democrats of Orange County are also involved in this event.
