QUOTE OF THE DAY

Although the Constitution permits communities to enact most laws they believe to be desirable, it requires that there be at least a legitimate reason for the passage of a law that treats different classes of people differently.

There was no such reason that Proposition 8 could have been enacted. ... Proposition 8 served no purpose, and had no effect, other than to lessen the status and human dignity of gays and lesbians in California.
