Proposition 8 Ruling Expected Wednesday

A federal judge in San Francisco will issue a decision Wednesday on California's Proposition 8, which bans same-sex marriage, according to a court announcement Tuesday.

"The court will issue its written order containing findings of fact and conclusions of  the law following the court trial held in January and June of this year," the announcement said.

U.S. District Court Judge Vaughn Walker will issue his decision and copies will be e-filed to the San Francisco, Oakland and San Jose federal courthouses for public review.

"The bottom line is that this is a case where the government can discriminate against constitutional rights," said Yusef Robb, a spokesperson for the American Foundation for Equal Rights.

The group is organizing a rally at West Hollywood Park that is tentatively scheduled for 6:00 p.m. Wednesday.  

"We have people who can get married and people who can't get married," said Robb. "When you add up all the pieces, Prop. 8 is clearly unconstitutional."
