BREAKING: Prop 8 decision to come tomorrow

gaywrites:

The LA Times reports that a federal appeals court will decide tomorrow on the constitutionality of California’s Prop 8, the measure that bans marriage equality in the state.

Regardless of how a three-judge panel of the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals decides the case, its ruling is very likely to be appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court, which could decide next year whether gays and lesbians nationwide have the right to marry.

Former Chief U.S. District Judge Vaughn R. Walker, 67, a Republican appointee, ruled in August 2010 that Proposition 8 violated the federal constitution. ProtectMarriage, the sponsors of Proposition 8, appealed his ruling to the 9th Circuit.

The decision will be released by 10am Pacific time. Get ready.
