9th Circuit Court of Appeals rules against Prop. 8

Feb 07, 2012 14:16

California's Proposition 8 ban on same-sex marriages is unconstitutional, a three-judge panel of the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled today in a much-anticipated decision from the nation's most populous state. The judges upheld a lower court's ruling.

From here but really, this story is everywhere right now.

This isn't the end of it by a long shot, but it's one more step in the right direction. I'm certain it's going to go to the Supreme Court next, which means yet another round of hoping and waiting, but still. One more step forward.
