In 2008, voters in California voted against same-sex marriage pushing inequality on thousands of same-sex couples across the state. In 2010, federal judge Vaughn Walker ruled that the ban was unconstitutional, but the ninth circuit court placed a stay on the ruling due to possible appeals.
According to NBC and CNN, the appeals court in San Francisco has ruled that California's ban on same-sex marriage is unconstitutional. As thousands around the city celebrate equality for all Americans, the backlash is expected to be loud. The fight for LGBT equality is something that has become a bigger issue in American politics with each passing year and the fight will continue. The ruling by the court in San Francisco is a step in the right direction for giving civil rights to every American.
