Ocinteeni provided a very good answer to my initial question. I was sure that those that had been legally married couldn't have their marriages annulled. Yesterday though I read a news item, in my newsparer, in which Ellen Degeneres was commenting on the situation. I think the news item came from the AP, but maybe not (I threw away the paper so I can no longer confirm the source). The news item basically stated that because of Prop 8 her marriage has been annulled. Unfortunately it was really only half a story in that it didn't give any details on why her marriage would be annulled. It also only specifically mentioned her marriage. The media isn't helping to clarify anything in this situation. It is going to be very interesting to see how all of this plays out and as you have mentioned CreativeMind I'm sure there will be some very messy court battles. The big winners in all of this will be the lawyers making money from all the court battles.
