Homosexual people and supporters are rejoicing today in California. After an official announcement from the Governator, Prop 8 has been overturned. Yesterday, a federal judge overturned the ruling and stating it was unconstitutional. It took away rights to equal protection and due process.

The judge, Vaughn Walker, stated that they listened to both sides of the argument and were both very passionate. He knows that his decision is controversial and hopes everyone respects it.

Celebrities in Hollywood were tweeting and showing support of the decision all over. Ellen chimed in on twitter and her wife, stated: “I am ecstatic that proposition 8 has been overturned in the state of California. This is an incredibly exciting and historical day and a big step towards equal rights for all.”

Even straight supporters had something to say, Kim Kardashian stated it is the best news she heard in a long time. It was about time California took the right direction.

Some of the other celebrities who sent out twitter messages in support of this law passing were: Christina Applegate, Paris Hilton, Kelly Osbourne, Ricky Martin, Kal Penn, Elizabeth Banks, Samantha Ronson, Seth Myers, Olivia Munn, and Zachary Quinto.

My favorite twitter was from Kal Penn saying: “Prop 8 ruled unconstitutional! Finally,pedophiles can marry their dogs. Just kidding. Props to CA for standing up for family values for all!”

Well I hope this stands, it still has a long battle. Prejudice people will keep trying to appeal it.
