In San Francisco today a federal judge overturned Proposition 8, a voter approved ballot that banned same-sex marriages. It was decided that gays and lesbians have a constitutional right to marry. Proposition 8, passed by voters in November of 2008, violated the rights of gays and lesbians to marry the mate of their choice, stated U.S. District Chief Judge Vaughn R. Walker.
The decision is expected to be appealed to the U.S. 9TH Circuit Court of Appeals and then brought before the U.S. Supreme Court. Governor Schwarenegger praised the judge’s decision and felt that the ruling was fair.
