The New York Times: California High Court Upholds Gay Marriage Ban.
Tim Rutten The Los Angeles Times opines: "Legal precedents notwithstanding -- and the six clearly nervous justices who made up the majority in this case reached all the way back to the state Constitution of 1849 for those -- Tuesday's decision was intellectually and morally incoherent. It essentially tells Californians that a right as fundamental as the ability to choose the marital partner of your choice is a kind of judicial lottery ticket -- if you got in early, you win, but those who arrived a few days late lose. Sorry."
Blogger Rex Wockner reports: Between 5,000 and 10,000 march in San Diego. "Among the marchers was Lisa Sanders, Republican Mayor Jerry Sanders' openly lesbian daughter. Both spoke at the march's end at the Hall of Justice downtown. .......Lisa Sanders. 'I'm very saddened today that the Supreme Court did not overturn Prop 8. However, I am here with all of you and I know that we will get full equality. We will all be treated equally because we're all family and we're here today to fight for our rights.'
The Dallas Voice reports that 100 came out to march.
Our gay brothers and sisters were kind enough to hold rallies up North (Canada) for us, thank you:
