Appeals Court Rejects California's Proposition 8

“A federal appeals court ruled against California's voter-approved ban on same-sex marriage Tuesday, arguing the ban unconstitutionally singles out gays and lesbians for discrimination.
“In a split decision, a three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals found the state's Proposition 8 ‘works a meaningful harm to gays and lesbians’ by denying their right to civil marriage in violation of the 14th Amendment. Supporters of same-sex marriages cheered the decision when it was announced outside the courthouse Tuesday morning.”

(Thanks 9th Circuit Court of Appeals for showing a rare glimpse of reason amidst the cold, out-of-touch, moralizing legal system. End the drug war next please, thanks...)
