Judge Walker overturns Proposition 8 in California

Hurray!
Though Proposition 8 has been overturned today, same-sex marriage will not be allowed to resume in California until legal wrangling of appeals and other written arguments are heard.
According to Judge Vaugh Walker, "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."
He goes on to state in his ruling, "Because Proposition 8 disadvantages gay and lesbians without any rational justification, Proposition 8 violates the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth amendment."
I commend The American Foundation for Equal Rights for their efforts and information that kept supporters of marriage equality in the know during this landmark case. Like many others, I got a text from them minutes after the ruling, and it made my day!!!
