"Moral disapproval alone is an improper basis on which to deny rights to gay men and lesbians." - Chief U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker
Proposition 8 has been overturned in California. The entire ruling is available online, and while I plan to read it, I thought the above quote summed it up nicely. The appeals process has already begun and I expect the entire battle will just get uglier and uglier. But at least for today, we have something to celebrate.

A good day. I agree, let's just take it for now.
Yahoo! A glimmer is at hand today.
Let the battle commence. It's a great day for all Americans.
Rainbow cupcakes for everyone!
What Raina said!!
I am with you. However as this goes up the chain, I fear that the Roberts 5-4 will legislate from the bench. No matter how much people dislike the Democrats right now, our future depends upon the NEXT, not Kagan, but the NEXT Supreme Court nominee. Let us celebrate this victory and the words used to define it. But let us also remember the FUTURE is our hands at the ballot box.
A good day! Celebration for equal rights, continue the good fight.
