PROPOSITION 8 DECLARED UNCONSTITUTIONAL

From IT at The Friends of Jake:
Proposition 8 serves no purpose, and has no effect, other than to lessen the status and human dignity of gays and lesbians in California, and to officially reclassify their relationships and families as inferior to those of opposite sex couples The Constitution simply does not allow for "laws of this sort" (Romer v. Evans.)
For more, see TFOJ.

  1. If the other side doesn't give up, the case may go to the Supremes. Whether they'd take it on or not is another matter, since the decision is so narrow and applies only to the situation in California.

  2. You're right, Grandmere, but it is a beginning, and for that I am thankful.
