Election night 15 years ago– Nov. 4 2008 –LGBTQ+ voters in California experienced a kind of political whiplash – euphoria and despair in one night as the states' voters overwhelmingly chose to elect Barack Obama president, while simultaneously taking away the right of same-sex couples to marry.

Proposition 8 – eliminating a right to marriage that had been granted to gay and lesbian couples by the California Supreme Court less than six months earlier –passed with 52% of the vote.

Two years later, on Jan. 11, 2010, two same-sex couples, Kris Perry and Sandy Stier, and Jeffrey Zarrillo and Paul Katami had their day in federal court when they sued to overturn Prop. 8 after they were denied marriage licenses.
