Domino 2 Falls: California Rules For Same-Sex Marriage

You knew it was only a matter of time, with lawsuits pending in virtually every state in the national without a Constitutional Ammendment. A San Fransico judge has ruled prohibiting same-sex marriage in California is unconstitutional.
"It appears that no rational purpose exists for limiting marriage in this state to opposite-sex partners," Kramer wrote. The judge wrote that the state's historical definition of marriage, by itself, cannot justify the denial of equal protection for gays and lesbians. "The state's protracted denial of equal protection cannot be justified simply because such constitutional violation has become traditional," Kramer wrote.
Of course, some would not consider this tradition, but "case law" which is regularly used in courts as guidance for what is legal and customary, and what is not. Still, it doesn't matter. The Gay Rights movement has proven they will shop their case anywhere until they find a judge who will rule their way. This is why a Consitutional Ammendment may be needed. And it is why it is likely California voters will be voting in their own state ammendment against same-sex marriage in November.
