“In view of the substance and significance of the fundamental
constitutional right to form a family relationship,” Chief Justice
Ronald M. George wrote of marriage for the majority, “the California
Constitution properly must be interpreted to guarantee this basic
civil right to all Californians, whether gay or heterosexual, and to
same-sex couples as well as to opposite-sex couples.”
So, this started me wondering why males and females are 'opposite'.
"Different-sex couples" sounds more correct.
What does "opposite" mean?

"Opposite-sex" has meaning in a context where there are only two
sexes. It loses it's meaning when there are more than two.
