Tony Perkins, president of the Christian-right Family Research Council, said Wednesday that the Supreme Court’s decision to effectively legalize same-sex marriages in California was a repudiation of the state’s voters.

“I think this certainly is a rejection of the voters of California who have twice gone to the polls to uphold the natural definition of marriage,” Perkins said on CNN. “So they’ve completely ignored them as we can tell from the decision at present.”
