Som venner har seg til, tok jeg meg til å bare glemme alt som het blogg. Jeg lukket megselv fra deg og har i senere tider bare vært interessert i klassisk musikk de neste par månendene. Så, her er jeg igjen, helt i ro. Med en god selvfølelse på engelsk prøven, gleder jeg meg til resultatet av fransk muntlig, men hopp i det, nå er det litt nyheter å bringe inn i den fine verdenen!

Ops, engelsk. Skal se å få det oversatt etterhvert, hvis dere absolutt ikke forstår dette.
Prop 8 declared unconstitutional: What you need to know
Here?s the breakdown of what you need to know:
Today?s ruling: The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in a 2-1 vote that Prop 8 is not constitutional. This affirms Judge Vaughn Walker?s earlier ruling that Prop. 8 violated the U.S. Constitution by denying rights to a certain group of people.
?Although the Constitution permits communities to enact most laws they believe to be desirable, it requires that there be at least a legitimate reason for the passage of a law that treats different classes of people differently,? the justices wrote in the decision. ?There is no such reason that Prop 8 could have been enacted.?
It goes on to say: ?Proposition 8 serves no purpose, and has no effect, other than to lessen the status and human dignity of gays and lesbians in California, and to officially reclassify their relationships and families as inferior to those of opposite-sex couples.?
What?s next: Expect an appeal from the opposition shortly. The case will either go to the full 9th Circuit (only 3 ruled Tuesday), or it will head directly to the Supreme Court on appeal. The Supreme Court would look at the case, at the earliest, next term, if they even decide to take the case.
Does this mean same-sex can now marry in California: No. A stay is likely to be put on marriages. In addition, an appeal would prevent marriage from occurring.
