Religious Institute celebrates overturning of Prop 8!
On August 4, 2010, Judge Vaughn Walker, chief judge of the U.S.District Court of the Northern District of California, found Proposition 8 unconstitutional. The decision in part read, "Proposition 8 fails to advance any rational basis for singling out gay men and lesbians for denial of a marriage letter" More than 2,200 religious leaders have endorsed the "Open Letter to Religious Leaders on Marriage Equality", providing the religious foundations for securing the freedom to marry for same-sex couples. For more details about the court decision, visit our colleagues at www.freedomtomarry.org.
