Tak Chun Gaming Promotion Co. v. Long (Cal. Ct. App. - Nov. 17, 2023)

The Court of Appeal makes only one edit to this published opinion, and it softens it. A tiny bit.

"It is ordered that the opinion filed herein on October 26, 2023, be modified as follows:

On page 11, in lines 5 and 6 of footnote 4, delete the phrase “Tak Chun distastefully implies” and replace it with the phrase “Tak Chun’s comparison could be read to distastefully imply” so the full footnote reads as follows:

Tak Chun’s comparison to our Supreme Court’s decision in In re Marriage Cases (2008) 43 Cal.4th 757 is ill conceived, for this decision was an acknowledgment that persons of different sexual orientations are entitled to the equal protection of the law authorizing marriage rather than, as Tak Chun’s comparison could be read to distastefully imply, an illustration of a “substantial shift of public acceptance or morality” in California."
