Gay Marriage are now constitutional in California, the Supreme Court of California ruled in a 4-to-3 decision to overturn the same sex marriage ban in California on Thursday, May 15, 2008
“In view of the substance and significance of the fundamental constitutional right to form a family relationship,” Chief Justice Ronald M. George wrote of marriage for the majority, “the California Constitution properly must be interpreted to guarantee this basic civil right to all Californians, whether gay or heterosexual, and to same-sex couples as well as to opposite-sex couples.”
This decision becomes effective in 30 days. California will be the only second State after Massachusetts to allow gay marriages.
