Prop 8 has been overturned today in California.
Frankly, I was shocked and dismayed when it passed in 2008 and am glad Judge Walker has ruled that it is unconstitutional to deny (anyone) same sex couples the right to marry.
Oh, wait! Have the H8ers forgotten that his has already been decided? Hello, Civil Rights Act of 1964.
It's really pretty simple; if two people love each other and wish to commit themselves in marriage, let them! Making marriage between 2 consenting adults illegal is preposterous. Seriously.
I'm so proud of my fellow SCU alum Paul Katami and his partner Jeff. They have been tireless and determined in their efforts and conviction to see this fear-based, hateful proposition reversed.
Now on to the Court of Appeals and eventually the Supreme Court, most likely. To decide (again) that all people deserve equal rights. Nothing worth fighting for comes easily, I suppose.
