High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The status of same-sex marriage in California is unique among the fifty U.S. states, in that the state formerly granted marriage licenses to same-sex couples but no longer does so. The period of granting such licenses began on June 16, 2008, due to a ruling by the state supreme court based on an equal protection argument and ended November 5, 2008, due to the passage of Proposition 8, an amendment to the state constitution that limited marriages to those between one man and one woman. Marriages granted by any civil entity during that period remain legally recognized and retain full state-level marriage rights. Also, subsequent state legislation established that any same-sex marriages granted by other jurisdictions after the passage of Proposition 8 retain the state rights that come with marriage, except the legal term "marriage" itself.
