Quote Of The Day: Prop 8 Ruled Unconstitutional

"Proposition 8 serves no purpose, and has no effect, other than to lessen the status and human dignity of gays and lesbians in California, and to officially reclassify their relationships and families as inferior to those of opposite-sex couples." -Judge Stephen Reinhardt, in the majority opinion of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit earlier today.

UPDATE: Jazz Shaw brings my attention to the AP's mention that marriages aren't likely to resume anytime soon -- due to even more legal wrangling:

Even if the panel upholds the lower court ruling, it could be a while before same-sex couples can resume marrying in the state. Proposition 8′s backers plan to appeal to a bigger 9th Circuit panel and then the U.S. Supreme Court if they lose in the intermediate court, which would likely put its ruling on hold while that process plays out.
