Principle of Equality Validated: Prop 8 Ruled Unconstitutional

Gay and lesbian couples in California are no longer behind the ominous Prop 8 ball. Thankfully, a Federal District Judge (Vaughn Walker) found no rational basis for California to have an interest in discriminating against gay and lesbian couples.

This is good, since discrimination is simply rational. Kudos to Schwarzenegger who stuck his neck out to support this decision. See more in this BBC article:

The battle will go on... however. While logic, reason and rationality are on the side of justice and equality, we'll see if the US Supreme Court will have the courage to step out a bit ahead of most states in supporting this decision. If not, we go behind years. If so, we advance hugely, perhaps faster than many people's comfort levels. Eventually, we all knew this would be decided in the US Supreme Court. The question is if it's the right time to do so.
