the California Supreme Court ruled Aug. 1 that same-sex domestic partners must be treated the same as married couples by private businesses. Conservatives said the court's ruling underscores the need for a constitutional marriage amendment. "Marriage is a special and exclusive institution for a man and a woman. Private companies should not be forced to undermine or redefine marriage by the government or anyone else. It's time for the people of California to stop the out-of-control courts from trampling marriage and trashing the deeply-felt standards of private businesses and organizations."-Randy Thomasson, VoteYesMarriage.com
