Reply #10: Proposition 8

[Djarun]

My partner and I were married in California a week before the Presidential election. We have been together for 10 years(yes we finish each others thoughts)! We live in rural Arizona and lead a normal productive life. We are both worried about the decision from the California Supreme Court. If they decide to over-turn the proposition, fine. But, what happens if they uphold it? Will we still be married? Will we then be "divorced", or will it be "annulled"? If it is annulled will we get a refund for the marriage license or travel expenses from a state that can't even give tax refunds to its own citizens? We are both committed to each other and would like government to be committed to us as well(State, Local, Federal). We would like the benefits of marriage at the Federal level preferably, but if we have to go to the state next door we will.
