Progress



"They say that this country is free, and they say that this country is equal, but it is not equal if it's sometimes."

Today, Proposition 8 was ruled to be unconstitutional!!!!

Justice Vaughn Walker of the United States District Court for the Northern District of California wrote that 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. … 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."

Not real sure what Prop 8 is? Check it out here!

Marriage is between only two persons and shall not be restricted on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, gender, sexual orientation, or religion.


Equality for all, let freedom ring.
