It is a state constitutional issue. I don't think there is any appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.

What we'll likely be voting on in November is a new amendment to the California constitution that explicitly allows defining marriages as between opposite sexes.

Barring anything I haven't heard about yet it sounds like gay marriages will just be able to start happening in 30 days when the ruling goes into effect.

I do imagine that all of the candidates will be asked to take a position on the amendment that will likely be on our ballot in November. Since all three have opposed gay marriage in the past I'm sure their answers will be something along the lines of "I oppose gay marriage, but it is for the people of California to decide."
