Yes. Prop 21, I believe. It was sometime around 2002. It was later overturned by courts, as are many things. It was NOT an amendment to the constitution, though.
And you are correct....if Prop 8 passes, this will just eventually go up to the Supreme Court, where it will finally get overturned, since there is no legal basis for allowing the discrimination. The public doesnt get to vote on Supreme Court cases, so they will out of luck at that point.
