California Legal battle over gay marriage will proceed in a vote to amend the state constitution.
The states supreme court has declined to remove "Prop 8" from November ballots. The propositions aim amend the states constitution to define marriage as "between a man and a woman".
It's a bitter court battle that began with the courts ruling that banning gay marriage was unconstitutional last month.
The initiative requires a simple majority to pass.
California was the second state after Massachusetts to allow gay marriage and has taken criticism for issuing licenses to couples from other states.
This is just the latest in a series of bitter legal battles and if the initiative passes it will leave the question of what happens to marriages that are now constitutionally accepted.
