Yet another religious figure demands that YES on 8 results be accepted because it is the will of the majority of voters, so gays should just STFU and get over it. That's the bad news.
The good news is, by his own logic, if the majority of voters choose to ban the Catholic Church that would be alright with him!

Bishop William Weigand, head of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Sacramento and former Bishop of Salt Lake City had this to say:
"Bigoted attacks on Mormons for the part they played in our coalition are shameful and ignore the reality that Mormon voters were only a small part of the groundswell that supported Proposition 8. As the former bishop of the Diocese of Salt Lake City, I can attest to the fact that followers of the Mormon faith are a good and generous people with a long history of commitment to family and giving to community causes. I personally decry the bigotry recently exhibited towards the members of the Church of the Latter Day Saints--coming from the opponents of Proposition 8, who ironically, have called those of us supporting traditional marriage intolerant.
I call upon the supporters of same-sex marriage to live by their own words--and to refrain from discrimination against religion and to exercise tolerance for those who differ from them.
I CALL UPON THEM TO ACCEPT THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE (my caps) of California in the passage of Proposition 8."
So there it is, the will of the people is paramount!
