A federal judge in San Francisco has overturned Proposition 8, which banned same-sex marriages, and has ruled that gays and lesbians have a constituional right to marry. He stated that Prop 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. Because Proposition 8 prevents California from fulfilling its constitutional obligation to provide marriages on an equal basis, the court concludes that Proposition 8 is unconstitutional.”This makes me happy. Australia, take note!
