proposition 8 or prop 8, the state s ban a same-sex marriage, is unconstitutional. dan simon live in san francisco. dan, you ve been talking to people there. how have they been reacting to the news? reporter: obviously they re very happy about it. they expected this, quite frankly, and we should point out a little more than three years ago, a majority of california voters said they were against same-sex marriage. well, in this case the federal appeals court said the majority doesn t rule that proposition 8, which defined marriage between a man and a woman, is unconstitutional. from here, brooke, most observers think this case will be headed to the supreme court. it does not mean the fact that same-sex marriage got a victory today that couples can start getting married tomorrow. this ruling is effectively put on hold while this appeals process continues. brooke? so ultimately we ll be looking for the next big step to be the u.s. supreme court. dan simon in san francisco. d
