Yes. This.<\/p>\n

Of course, I expect this to go to SCOTUS, and who knows what will happen there, but it's still a large step forward in equal rights in this country. #ddtb<\/p>\n

U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rules that Prop 8 is unconstitutional<\/b>
San Francisco, Calif., USA<\/i><\/p>\n

Tue Feb 7:<\/b> A three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has issued its long-awaited opinion on whether Proposition 8 violates the civil rights of gay men and lesbians.<\/p>\n

Proposition 8 was a 2008 California ballot measure that banned same-sex marriage. In August 2010, a federal judge struck down the ban, which was left in place during the appeals process.<\/p>\n
