UPDATE: from New York magazine:

According to a source who has seen the 136-page decision, U.S. District Court Judge Walker has ruled Proposition 8, the California voter-approved ban on gay marriage, unconstitutional under both the due-process and equal-protection clauses. We're staying tuned and will report more details when we get them.

Let's hope this is true. Very good news if so.

1. Great news! Of course it will be appealed.

But will the judge stay his order while it's appealed?

2. Nope..no stay

“Because Proposition 8 is unconstitutional under both the Due Process and Equal Protection Clauses, the court orders entry of judgment permanently enjoining its enforcement; prohibiting the official defendants from applying or enforcing Proposition 8 and directing the official defendants that all persons under their control or supervision shall not apply or enforce Proposition 8.”

3. It's the crawl on CNN

Proposition 8 is OVERTURNED!

I guess that makes it official.

Thank you, California Supreme Court.

Fuck you, Christian haters.
