Proposition 8

GLAAD looks at the importance of the media telling the stories of people directly impacted by bans on marriage equality, and the impact those stories have on support for equality.

In the wake of Tuesday’s Ninth Circuit Court decision affirming the ruling that Prop 8 was in violation of the federal constitution, a number of religious and faith groups issued statements in support of the decision.

GLAAD today applauded the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit’s decision affirming the unconstitutionality of Proposition 8.

The San Diego Union Tribune has been sold to Doug Manchester, the outspoken anti-gay activist who donated about $125,000 to pass Proposition 8 in 2008.

Today, the California Supreme Court issued an advisory opinion that opponents of marriage equality in California DO have standing to argue in support of Proposition 8 in a court of law. This will force anti-gay activists to make their arguments in a court of law, where those arguments will not hold up.
