| Woolsey – Court Ruling ‘Enshrines Bigotry and Discrimination as the Rule of Law.’ | | May 26, 2009 | |
 | Washington, DC – Congresswoman Lynn Woolsey (D-CA) today issued the following statement in reaction to the decision by the California Supreme Court to uphold Proposition Eight:
“In the 21st Century it’s unacceptable that any American is discriminated against based upon his or her sexual orientation, not just here in California, but anywhere in our country. The constitution is meant to protect the rights of all of us, not to divide us or to enshrine bigotry and discrimination as the rule of law. Unfortunately, today’s decision falls short of recognizing the rights of hundreds of thousands of loving adults by failing to extend the right of marriage to all couples in the state of California. That’s why I join with the millions who opposed Proposition Eight in vowing to fight for equal rights for all Californians, and move beyond the injustice perpetuated by this ruling.” |
