Today was a good day if you are one the side of justice for all–including us gay folks. Prop 8, was overturned and will most likely be heading to the United States Supreme Court. As more and more countries legalize same-sex marriages, the US, the supposed leader of democracy and justice is being left in the dust. It’s the same route we took with inter-racial marriage–it was illegal and immoral and now it is legal and not an issue with most people. Let’s learn from history. This is a big step in the right direction.

In a major victory for gay rights activists, a federal judge ruled on Wednesday that a voter initiative banning same-sex marriage in California violated the Constitution’s equal protection and due process rights clauses.

After a five-month wait, 9th Circuit District Court Judge Vaughn Walker offered a 136-page decision in the case of Perry v. Schwarzenegger, firmly rejecting Proposition 8, which was passed by voters in November 2008.

“Although Proposition 8 fails to possess even a rational basis, the evidence presented at trial shows that gays and lesbians are the type of minority strict scrutiny was designed to protect,” Walker ruled.
