Ultimately, the judge concluded that Proposition 8 "fails to advance any rational basis in singling out gay men and lesbians for denial of a marriage license. Indeed, the evidence shows Proposition 8 does nothing more than enshrine in the California Constitution the notion that opposite-sex couples are superior to same-sex couples. … Because Proposition 8 prevents California from fulfilling its constitutional obligation to provide marriages on an equal basis, the court concludes that Proposition 8 is unconstitutional.”]

Praise the California Constitution.

Praise the California Constitution.

AND:

"Moral disapproval alone is an improper basis on which to deny rights to gay men and lesbians."

So now it will go to Appeals and then onwards to the Supreme Court, maybe? Yes? And if it reaches Supreme Court and they say it's unconstitutional... Then finally, DOMA will be killed and it will become federal law?

It's not really about CA. This is the Federal Courts. Should the 9th Circuit up hold Judge Walker's ruling and then SCOTUS upholds it, same-sex marriage will be legal in all 50 states.
