This article discusses how in 2008 Proposition 8 stated that marriage was only for males and females, then Judge Walker from San Francisco stated it was, unconstitutional, unlawful and clear discrimination. Later it was discovered that he himself was gay therefore this this was appealed. The same decision came out of that appealing process and it was decided that Proposition 8 was indeed unconstitutional. Now it is going to go further to federal court.
If federal court says it is a matter that the state should resolve on its own, they gay marriage will be allowed in the state of California. However, this is a long process that can take a very long time.
Personally I feel that this topic should be taken very seriously and i admire the gay community for being so active (the way they should be) and fighting for the rights they truly deserve and are so basic and crucial in order to conduct a normal healthy lifestyle in a free country.
