CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL!! And kudos to Judge Walker, a judge who finally used common sense: "The evidence shows conclusively that moral and religious views form the only basis for a belief that same-sex couples are different from opposite-sex couples." He continued by saying that the freedom to marry "is recognized as a fundamental right protected by the due process clause of the U.S. Constitution."
"Because California has no interest in discriminating against gay men and lesbians, and because Proposition 8 prevents California from fulfilling its constitutional obligation to provide marriage on an equal basis, the court concludes that Proposition 8 is unconstitutional," Walker, in San Francisco, said in his ruling. "
That's right. Love is love, discrimination is discrimination and discrimination is UNCONSTITUTIONAL!
It's hard for us to understand how a country founded on religious freedom could discriminate so harshly against people who only want to be married. Gay people ARE NOT SECOND CLASS CITIZENS.
Drop the M word and call it a Union then, but just let the people themselves decide who they want to be with for the rest of their lives.

As Michelle Rodriguez said, and yes, we are quoting Michelle Rodriguez, this is "one step for democracy, one giant leap towards humanity.”
