A court just overturned Prop. 8. The decision will probably be stayed pending appeal. I'm sure the bigots will go on endlessly about the fact that the judge is gay.

but he used factoids and the constitution to back him up. if this gets to the Supreme court they will take the 14th amendment into account. The lawyers on the case were on Rachel Maddow last night and said that this is the first step in a long process. Here is the pdf of the judges ruling.

Forum Rules
Our Community Guidelines:
The Curvemag Community boards are a private forum created
to establish a cozy community among lesbian, bi, and questioning women and our
allies. Our boards are moderated to help us achieve this goal and we ask that
everyone respect the following rules:
1. Add something real to the mix. In most areas, one-liners and "me too"
statements aren't enough to really get a conversation going. Longer, more substantial
posts give others more of a sense of who you are and where you're coming from.
2. Don't be a bigot. Slanderous, defamatory, violent, abusive, insulting,
threatening or harassing comments directed at individuals or groups of people
are not tolerated.
3. Don't spam us. Advertisements, chain letters, pyramid schemes and other
solicitations will be deleted. Period. If you have an announcement of
legitimate interest to lesbians, post it to our announcements area only.
Signatures may not contain url's or links to external sites.
4. Don't spam our members. Contacting a member privately without her express permission is inappropriate. (Instead, ask her permission by posting your request on the boards.) Don't email our members without their public permission. (Please understand that, by providing your email address when you register, you are giving Curve administrators and moderators permission to contact you via email.)
5. Stay with the subject at hand. It's not cool to throw an established
conversation off-topic, but you can create a new topic if you like.
6. Keep it clean. Our boards are about building community. Sexually inappropriate
messages will be deleted.
Folks who violate our rules may lose their posting privileges.
Inappropriate posts can be removed by our moderators. We work very hard to
keep the conversation going smoothly at Curvemag, but we can't be everywhere
at once, so please let us know if there's a problem with a member abusing
their posting privileges. Enjoy the boards!
Account Deletion Policy: Please note that we cannot delete user accounts. You can stop posting and you can edit your personal information on your account so that other users cannot contact you, but your posts, threads and username will remain on our site and in the public domain. This is why we advise extreme caution when you choose your username, and anytime you post personal information on this site. We cannot delete posts or threads, and we edit them only when the Curve Community guidelines have been breeched. This is because edits and deletions cause confusion, for instance when people read a thread where users quote and reply to posts that are no longer there.
