Judge Walker also makes these legal findings:
• Same-sex marriage meets the historical requirements to be “marriage” rather than some new thing.
• Domestic partnerships are not close enough to the same thing as marriage.
• Prop. 8 does not serve a legitimate government interest—let alone a compelling government interest.
• Prop. 8 discriminates on both sex and sexual orientation.
• The highest level of scrutiny should be applied.
• Even if we used the lowest level of scrutiny, Prop. 8 would fail because Prop. 8 satisfies no government interest.
• A private moral view that same-sex couples are inferior to opposite-sex couples is not a proper basis for legislationProposition 8 was ruled unconstitutional.
