Voters are entitled to make poor decisions, but that does not mean politicians must defend the poor decision. While unlikely, If the Federal Courts decide that there are Federal constitutional issues, then what was allowed under the California constitution may be prohibited under the Federal one.

But, does not the U.S. Constitution state that it is the "supreme law of the land". So is not Jerry Brown being a constitutional literalistic, persons you are supportive of, in defending the right of same gender couples to marry.
