California’s ban on same-sex marriage was overturned by a federal judge today, who said the voter-approved rule “violated the constitutional rights of gays and lesbians.”
From CNN.com:
The decision, issued by Chief U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker in San Francisco, is an initial step in what will likely be a lengthy legal fight over California’s Proposition 8, which defined marriage as a union between a man and a woman.
Here’s the CNN video footage:
Same-sex marriage is currently legal in five U.S. states and in the District of Colombia. Civil unions are permitted in New Jersey.
