Huge week in equal rights


There were two huge developments this week in the struggle for equality.

First, the Ninth Circuit upheld the trial court's ruling that California's Proposition 8 banning gay marriage was unconstitutional.  This will still be appealed to the Supreme Court, but it was another victory for marriage equality in the most populous state in the country.

Second, Washington state just today passed a bill establishing gay marriage and the Governor will sign it.  Hooray!

Give it up, haters.  You've lost on this issue as gay marriage isn't going away.  All you're doing by dragging this out is hurting people and showing yourselves for the bigots you are.
