Proposition 8 – Will Vaughn Walker Stay, Or Won’t He?

Today marks the day that United States District Judge Vaughn Walker, who made the ruling that overturned Proposition 8, leaving gay marriage no longer illegal in California, will announce if he lifts his stay or keeps it on the ruling. All over the country people are voicing their opinion on same-sex marriage. Typically, those who are religious are speaking out against gay marriage, while those who see the government apart from religion don’t agree.

After Walker’s discussion of religious views on same-sex relationships, sister Mary Ann Walsh took offense. On her blog, she stated that the freedom of religion “precludes government from wieghing in on the ‘acce-tability’ of religious beliefs. Mark Silk, however, said that Vaughn realized that “the supporters of Proposition 8 could not demonstate any secular purpose sufficient to establish a ‘rational basis’ for for denying same-sex couples the fundamental right to get married.

Here is what other people are saying about Proposition 8:
