Prop. 8 Overturned in California.

Today in California, a judge in a court of law has overturned Proposition 8.  If you don't know what Prop8 is and the controversy it has caused then click here.

This is only the next step for same-sex couples in California, the decision is almost guaranteed to be appealed, which will see it in the federal courts.  It is very likely it will then, whatever the ruling, be appealed to the US Supreme Court - potentially opening the flood gates for a full-on constitutional change (one way or the other) in America.

This is a big moment and certainly a reason to celebrate for gay people across the world, not just in California.
