The California Supreme Court has refused to hear a case seeking to keep an initiative that would ban gay marriage off the November ballot.

The state's supreme court justices' decision not to hear the case means that the unconstitutional Proposition 8 would stay on the ballot, to which nobody can take any further act.

Proposition 8, also known as the Limit on Marriage Amendment or the California Marriage Protection Act, is an initiative measure proposed for the 2008 California General Election ballot that, if passed, would amend the California State Constitution to affirm that only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California, thus prohibiting same-sex marriage.  

Having this law on the books would not let same sex couples exchange vows. Any law in the past would be overturned.

A petition was filed last month by Equality California, that this initiative was misleading
