Lambda Legal (as of September) isn't sure what's going to happen. http://www.lambdalegal.org/publications/factsheets/fs_marriage-for-same-sex-couples-in-california.html "Because your marriage will have been valid at the time it was entered, we believe you will still be married after November 4, 2008 regardless of whether the initiative passes. Initiatives usually are not retroactive and this initiative does not say that it would be. If the initiative passes, there will likely be people or organizations who will try to argue that your marriage is no longer valid and that you were divorced against your will as of November 4. It is hard to predict with certainty what courts would decide because this situation is unprecedented." Well…probably. Lambda Legal (as of September) isn’t sure what’s going to happen.

They are grandfathered in, and they will remain married, legally, unless they choose to divorce.
