U.S District Chief Judge Vaugh Walker ruled today that California’s law that bans Gay marriage in the state (Proposition Eight) was ruled unconstitutional today.  Judge Walker is one of the three openly gay federal judges in the country.  Judge Walker ruled that gay marriage ban violates the Constitution’s due process and equal protection clauses.  The California law was passed in November 2008.  It only took a year and eight months for the U.S. court system to rule that California law is discriminatory.  That law is just as disgusting as the law during the 50’s and 60’s banning African Americans from eating and/or watching movies in the same places as whites.  There is no difference in the two laws.  If straight couples can marry then you can’t tell any other race, creed, color, or sexual orientation they can’t marry.  Any more then you can tell an African American they can’t attend a school because it is whites only.  This is the U.S.A. the county of equal rights for all.  Gay marriages won’t continue in the state yet because the judge said he wants to decide whether his order should be suspended while the proponents appeal in the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.  Currently only Massachusetts, Iowa, Connecticut, Vermont, New Hampshire and Washington, D.C allow gay marriages.  Of course the fight doesn’t end here.  If you would like to see the judges ruling you can find it here.
