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. The Constitution simply does not allow for laws of this sort.

Calif. same-sex marriage ban ruled unconstitutional - The Washington Post.

Couldn’t have said it better myself. The ruling is super specific, so it’ll be interesting to see what effect it will have long-term and outside of California. But it’s good to have an appellate court putting this kind of thing in the official reporter of decisions.
