Proposition 8 Ruled Unconstitutional
A federal appeals court in San Francisco ruled Tuesday that California’s voter-approved ban on same-sex marriage, Proposition 8, violates the United States Constitution, CNN reported.
The decision was voted 2-1 by a panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals judges and is expected to be appealed.
According to CNN, the three-judge panel found that the ban “served no purpose, and had no effect, other than to lessen the status and human dignity of gays and lesbians in California, and to officially reclassify their relationship and families as inferior to those of opposite-sex couples.”
