    Reads the ruling: “#Prop8 served no purpose, and had no effect, other than to lessen the status & human dignity of gays & lesbians in CA."

    Isn't it great how something unconstitutional was ruled unconstitutional! Sad part of U.S. history that it was even questioned #Prop8

    California Prop8 was been ruled unconstitutional. Strickly a civil matter now. This may affect the states that have banned marriage equality....we'll see.

    More great stuff on why "marriage" is different: Who wants to ask "will you enter into a registered domestic partnership with me?" #prop8

    We have a long road to travel before equal standing in the eyes of the law, but #Prop8 ruling is a validation that we'll ultimately prevail.
