Change Ban of Gay Marriage

I am 17 years old. I live in California and yesterday prop 8 (banning of gay marriage) was passed. I am personally not gay but I believe that this ban is not right and goes against of constitution and the statement that all men are created equal and that all men have the right to the pursuit of happiness, how would I go about helping to change this law? - Is this your question?

Unfortunately, proposition 8 was not just a law changing proposition, it was a constitution changing proposition. That is, the California Supreme court already ruled that the California Constitution protects the right of ALL adult consenting Californians to marry. This proposition changed the California Constitution. Thus, the only way to go about changing this law now is to have another amendment to the constitution.
