California's Ban on Same Sex Marriage Ruled Unconstitutional

Prop 8--the proposition that banned gay marriage in California--IS unconstitutional, so the judge made the right decision. Gay marriage might be immoral according to some people's religious interpretations, but as a civil rights matter, gay people should have the right to marry. As far as I'm concerned, it's immoral for conservative types to push their brand of morality on others.

A federal judge in California has ruled that the state’s ban on same-sex marriage violates the Constitution’s guarantee of equal rights for all Americans.

The opinion, issued Wednesday afternoon by U.S. District Court Chief Judge Vaughn R. Walker, scuttles the state’s “Proposition 8,” a state Constitutional amendment barring such unions. The so-called “Prop 8” was approved by California voters in 2008, just months after state legislators legalized same-sex marriage – prompting more than 18,000 couples to converge on city halls across the state to marry.
