The California Supreme Court’s dismissed the Proposition 8 proponents’ last ditch effort to deny loving, committed gay & lesbian couples the freedom to marry in California on Wednesday. Jane Wishon, Marriage Equality USA Board President stated, “Today’s ruling means that two Supreme Courts, the United States Supreme Court & the California Supreme Court, agree that all loving, committed couples should have the freedom to marry in California. The decision is right as a matter of law & as a matter of love.” Jeff Tabaco of Daly City, California, who will marry his partner of 10 years Thom Watson in September stated, “We are finalizing our wedding plans & we are relieved by today’s decision. We can’t wait to exchange vows before our family & friends in just a few weeks & to have legal recognition & protection for our relationship under both California & federal law.” John Lewis, Marriage Equality USA Legal and Policy Director added, “Today’s decision finally marks the end of years of litigation by the Prop. 8 proponents to deny the freedom to marry to lesbian & gay couples in California. Today’s decision reaffirms that all loving, committed couples, regardless of their sexual orientation, have the freedom to marry in every county across the state.”
