YAY! and Duh... Same-sex marriage ban ruled UNCONSTITUTIONAL

Prop 8 was just ruled unconstitutional in California. Now be big kids and read the opinion (which starts on page 111)! I'll give you a quote to get you started.
"Race restrictions on marital partners were once common in most states but are now seen as archaic, shameful or even bizarre. FF 23-25. When the Supreme Court invalidated race restrictions in Loving, the definition of the right to marry did not change. 388 US at 12. Instead, the Court recognized that race restrictions, despite their historical prevalence, stood in stark contrast to the concepts of liberty and choice inherent in the right to marry."
