EDITORIAL: A Setback for Equality

New York Times
May 27, 2009

"The California Supreme Court got it terribly wrong Tuesday. It upheld Proposition 8, a state constitutional change on last fall's ballot intended to prohibit marriage by couples of the same sex. In addition to denying basic fairness to gay people, the court's 6-to-1 ruling sets an unfortunate legal precedent that could allow the existing rights of any targeted minority to be diminished using the Election Day initiative process."
