I am so proud of us today...Prop 8 was deemed unconstitutional and overturned in California. Human decency still prevails in our government and no one is more surprised then me.
When I found out that Prop 8 was going to be taken to the supreme court, I wanted it overturned...I just didn't know if they could/would. Unfortunately, this was passed through our democratic process and I didn't think the supreme court would mess with that...thank god I was wrong.
"Proposition 8 fails to advance any rational basis in singling out gay men and lesbians for denial of a marriage license. Indeed, the evidence shows Proposition 8 does nothing more than enshrine in the California Constitution the notion that opposite-sex couples are superior to same-sex couples," the judge wrote in a 136-page ruling that laid out in precise detail why the ban does not pass constitutional muster.
