The date has finally come. The California Supreme Court will issue its decision about Prop 8 TODAY, Tuesday May 26, 2009.
We have just learned that the California Supreme Court will announce its decision on Proposition 8 Tuesday, May 26th. If it follows past practice, the court will make its announcement at about 10 AM Pacific Time.
Depending on what the court decides, we will either PROTEST or CELEBRATE.
Seattle will PROTEST or CELEBRATE at Westlake Park on Tuesday May 26, at 5:30 pm.
We will PROTEST if:
— The court upholds Prop 8, and invalidates the 18,000 same-sex marriage licenses that California already issued;
or,
— The court upholds Prop 8, but upholds the 18,000 same-sex marriages already performed, which would be a cruel, but pyrrhic victory for equality.
We will CELEBRATE if:
— The court rejects Proposition 8 and says that same-sex couples are entitled to the marriage rights that heterosexual couples already have. So call, email, Facebook, Twitter your friends – DAY OF DECISION actions are TUESDAY NIGHT!

I see Prop 8 being shot down. There is too much momentum building with the recent pro gay marriage decisions in similarly progressive states.
For better or worse these pioneering pockets are signalling a changing face of the country
