"Today,
the California Supreme Court took a bold and important step forward to end
discrimination in California. The Court’s ruling to grant same-sex couples the
right to marry affirms the very best of what California stands for – and
proudly continues our state’s long-standing commitment to equality and
justice. As San Franciscans, we have taken an
irrevocable step toward resolving one of the most important civil rights issues
of our generation, and the state's highest court has done the right thing with
their ruling. San Francisco is the first government entity in American history
to challenge the constitutionality of state marriage laws that discriminate
against gay and lesbian couples. I believe that the path San Francisco pursued
was not merely right – it was inevitable. It is America’s path – the road
to true freedom and equality. The rights afforded by
California's Constitution have triumphed, as they must, over laws restricting
marriage to opposite-sex couples. In the late 1940s, California courts were
among the nation’s first to strike down laws banning inter-racial marriage.
The state’s Supreme Court has once again distinguished itself as a leading
defender of our civil rights." San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom, May 15,
2008
