That same-sex marriages were constitutional between the previous Supreme Court decision declaring prohibition of same-sex marriages unconstitutional and the ratification of Prop 8. The same-sex marriages entered into prior to Prop 8 were legal. The court basically said that they cannot now be illegal -- that they are grandfathered in, so to speak.
