May 15, 2008, Victory! Marriage equality in California

Trikone celebrates the California
Supreme Court's decision today. The justices held that limiting
marriage to opposite-sex couples violate the state constitutional
rights of same-sex couples and may not be used to preclude same-sex
couples from marrying.

The court concluded that permitting opposite-sex couples to marry
while affording same-sex couples access only to the novel and
less-recognized status of domestic partnership improperly infringes a
same-sex couple's constitutional rights to marry and to the equal
protection of the laws as guaranteed by the California Constitution.

We are grateful to our Court for recognizing that separate
arrangements are not equal. And just as importantly, for affirming
that all people deserve the dignity and respect of being protected
equally under California's Constitution. We are proud to support this
victory for justice and equality for all of us.
