prop 8

Advocates of same-sex marriage rights got a boost on Tuesday when a federal appeals court declared California’s gay marriage ban to be unconstitutional.

Chely Wright is one of many Americans celebrating a federal court’s ruling that the California state ban on same-sex marriage, Prop 8 — also known as Proposition 8 — is unconstitutional. “I am a gay American and it’s my Constitution too. #NOH8,” Wright tweeted, soon after the news broke.
