A three-judge panel with the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled today that Proposition 8 violates the U.S. Constitution by stripping gay Californians of the right to marry.
Yay!
U.S. district judge Vaughn Walker struck down the measure in 2010. That decision was appealed by a bunch of bigoted douchebags claiming Walker's sexual orientation constituted bias.
Boo!
Today's verdict will likely be appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court by those same bigoted douchebags.
Discuss.
Note from Liss: The Ninth Circuit Court's Prop 8 site is totally slammed right now, but if and when you can get it to load, you'll be able to read about the decision here.
