Anniversary of Prop. 8 Victory

This Saturday marks the two year anniversary of AFER's first major legal victory. On August 4, 2010, the Federal District Court in California ruled that Proposition 8 is unconstitutional.

A lot has happened since then. And now that the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has upheld that 2010 ruling, the case is headed to the US Supreme Court. 

That makes it a good time to look back at that early victory, and why the ruling sets such an important precedent. The court's decision laid a powerful foundation for the freedom to marry that stands throughout the federal court system.
