CA Proposition 8 Struck Down

Unfortunately the fight will continue.  But for now, same sex marriage is quasi legal again in California.  Key phrase in the ruling, which I wholeheartedly agree with:

"Race restrictions on marital partners were once common in most states but are now seen as archaic, shameful or even bizarre," he added. "Gender no longer forms an essential part of marriage; marriage under law is a union of equals."

My America does not discriminate, whether it is on race, gender, or sexual orientation.  It is important that the Supreme Court rule that way, but I do fear that they may not.  However, for any Plessy v. Ferguson, there is a Brown v. Board of Education.  It can just take a few decades.
