California Gay Marriage Ban Overturned - Not "Justified" according to California Supreme Court

Here's another moving section of the majority ruling today from the California Supreme Court: "...we conclude that retention of the traditional definition of marriage does not constitute a state interest sufficiently compelling, under the strict scrutiny equal protection standard, to justify withholding that status from same-sex couples. Accordingly, insofar as the provisions of sections 300 and 308.5 draw a distinction between opposite-sex couples and same-sex couples and exclude the latter from access to the designation of marriage, we conclude these statutes are unconstitutional." We're entitled to the same rights, dignity, and respect as everyone else, and the Court just stood up and said so. --Scott
