Hmm, I’m sort of mixed on this decision. As a gay male, I of course believe this is a great step forward. On the other hand, if the voters did approve a ban on it, I really don’t know if judges should be making the decision to overturn what the voters want. This just gives ample ammo to the conservative Christians who argue about the “activist courts”, and the ruling will likely be defeated in a landslide sadly if it makes it on the ballot. But again, we do have courts for a reason, and we might have still had segregated schools if we left it up to the folks, so, who knows.
Still though, as mixed as I feel about the way the court went about it, I’m heartened that its another battle that has been won, so to speak. Once again California lives up to its reputation as being a freethinking state.
