Prop 8 Overturned!

Wednesday, August 4, 2010

A San Francisco federal judge ruled Proposition 8 unconstitutional today, striking down the measure which prohibits gay marriage in the state of California! While this is a huge victory for marriage equality, U.S. District Chief Judge Vaughn R. Walker's decision will certainly be appealed to the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals and the U.S. Supreme Court. Perry vs. Schwarzenegger will no doubt be remembered long after the Terminator's films lose their luster, and I'm happy David bested Goliath in this round!

  2. Cheers to this!! Such a happy day for so many of my friends. Now we can only hope the U.S. Supreme Court is on the same page!

  5. It's surprisingly difficult to find one! For every 1,000 gorgeous straight weddings, there's one same sex celebration. I need a few more New England photographers on my list!
