Statement of Senator Barbara Boxer on California Supreme Court Proposition 8 Decision
By admin - Posted on May 27th, 2009
May 26, 2009 -- "Unfortunately, with this decision, I am concerned that we are back to square one on the issue of equal rights for same-sex couples.
This ruling sets up a very unfair reality in California where some same-sex couples will have their marriages affirmed, while many more will be denied their fundamental rights.
I remain committed to working actively with people across the state to make sure that same-sex couples have equal rights under the law."
