California voters will now get the chance to enshrine the right to same-sex marriage into the State constitution, after the state senate overwhelmingly passed a proposed constitutional amendment today.

The amendment would repeal "Proposition 8", which banned same-sex marriage in the state back in 2008, but was made largely irrelevant after the US Supreme Court guaranteed the right six years later.. 

To discuss further, KCBS Radio's Bret Burkhart and Patti Resing spoke with State Senator Scott Wiener, who introduced the legislation.
