Prop 8 Overturned

Finally. The Proposition from 2008 has been ruled unconstitutional, because it denied same-sex couples the ability to marry. Of course, in California, they had every other right associated with a partnership. This is great news, unless you're a conservative. Then it means that we're going to have massive problems in America because God is angry. Of course, God doesn't like Christmas trees (Jeremiah 10:2)(seriously, look it up), and last I checked, trees have not yet destroyed America. "Proposition 8 served no purpose, and had no effect, other than to lessen the status and the human dignity of gays and lesbians in California," said the Court (Prop 8). To read the full decision, go here. And of course, the Mormons have to respond. Last I checked, those guys are based in Salt Lake City. I'm not sure about this, but I don't think that's in California (sarcasm: of course it's not). They, of course, hate it. Apparently, they had also put a lot of money into getting Prop 8 passed. Maybe they should stick to their own state, instead of trying to fight gay rights everywhere.
