California Stands for Gay Rights

Yesterday in California, "Prop. 8" which is a proposition against gay marriage was struck down by a federal appeals court. Proposition 8 has been in the court system being shot down, revised and appealed in California since May of 2008, where it was originally an answer to an earlier proposition. This past November the court found that this proposition after being shot down again earlier in the year, was eligible for an appeal and believe you me, there were plenty of people to fight for that appeal. The proposition was brought up again in the court systems in California recently after it was found eligible again. This caused much conflict, being seen by many as a necessary appeal, and by others as just another attempt to take away more rights for gays and unconstitutional.
Yesterday this proposition was finally found unconstitutional due to the constitutional rights of gays and lesbians to wed. This caused much uproar in California, partially because of issues found with the ruling, and the reasons behind it. It is said that even though the gays and lesbians of California are technically within their rights to marriage as of yesterday, the marriages will probably not continue anytime soon due to the suspicion of more appeal attempts being made in the next few months. There are some that do not believe this though, some people believe that many gays and lesbians will rush to the courts and get their marriages approved in the time that they have left. What do you think? Is it fair to try and strip people of their rights and threaten them will law suits and court propositions just based in their personal sexual orientation?
