COURT TO RELEASE ITS PROPOSITION 8/PERRY STAY DECISION TOMORROW 8/12/10

Lifting of Stay Would Restore Equal Marriage Rights Immediately

The court will issue a decision whether to stay its ruling striking down Proposition 8 tomorrow, August 12, between 9 a.m. and 12 p.m. PT.

“The court’s ruling against Proposition 8 should go into effect now. Proposition 8 is unequivocally unconstitutional. It would be a grave injustice to countless Americans for this denial of fundamental rights to last any longer.” Said Chad Griffin, Board President of the American Foundation for Equal Rights.

The American Foundation for Equal Rights is the organization that launched Perry v. Schwarzenegger and brought together Theodore Olson and David Boies to argue the case.
