Sounds like you're trying to use gay rumors to hurt McCain. It seems to be a non-story to me.

Why is it called a "rumor" when gay people are involved. What proof would be required … a video or anal fluid DNA sample? And why aren't these stringent requirements of proof demanded of straights?

Whoa! The Supreme Court in question is the California Supreme Court; the court did not overturn Prop 8, it overturned an initiative. Prop 8 is on the November ballot here in California; it would amend the California state constitution. Because of the California Supreme Court decision, as of today same-sex marriage is legal in this state. Prop 8 would remove that right.
Each state has its own Supreme Court and its own Constitution. In cases of conflict, the Federal Constitution and Court system prevails.
