 Cal Supreme Court strikes down anti-same-sex-marriage law
For those of you who don't know, the California Supreme Court handed down their opinion this morning regarding gay marriage. They ruled that the law making gay marriage illegal is unconstitutional under the California constitution. The opinion is attached, but here is a representative paragraph:
"Accordingly, in light of the conclusions we reach concerning the constitutional questions brought to us for resolution, we determine that the language of section 300 limiting the designation of marriage to a union between a man and a woman" is unconstitutional and must be stricken from the statute, and that the remaining statutory language must be understood as making the designation of marriage available both to opposite-sex and same-sex couples. In addition, because the limitation of marriage to opposite-sex couples imposed by section 308.5 can have no constitutionally permissible effect in light of the constitutional conclusions set forth in this opinion, that provision cannot stand."
