Prop 8 Ruled Unconstitutional in California

Thursday, August 5th, 2010

Today, United States District Chief Judge Vaughn R Walker ruled in favor of the plaintiffs in the overturning Proposition 8, the 2008 California proposition that banned same sex marriage in the state of California.

In his ruling he finds “Plaintiffs have demonstrated by overwhelming evidence that Proposition 8 violates their due process and equal protection rights and that they will continue to suffer these constitutional violations until state officials cease enforcement of Proposition 8. California is able to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples, as it has already issued 18,000 marriage licenses to same-sex couples and has not suffered any demonstrated harm as a result, see FF 64-66; moreover, California officials have chosen not to defend Proposition 8 in these proceedings.
Because Proposition 8 is unconstitutional under both the Due Process and Equal Protection Clauses, the court orders entry of judgment permanently enjoining its enforcement; prohibiting the official defendants from applying or enforcing Proposition 8 and directing the official defendants that all persons under their control or supervision shall not apply or enforce Proposition 8.
The clerk is DIRECTED to enter judgment without bond in favor of
plaintiffs and plaintiff-intervenors and against defendants and
defendant-intervenors pursuant to FRCP 58.”

AASK - Adopt a Special Kid - Logo

There are nearly 80,000 foster children in California, many of whom are available and needing permanent homes.  Adopt A Special Kid (AASK), is the oldest agency in California working to help children in foster care get adopted into permanent, loving homes.  AASK is located in Oakland, and serves over 21 counties throughout California.  All families are welcome, including, LGBT parents, single and partnered parents, homeowners and renters, older parents, parents of all ethnic backgrounds, and people living with disabilities.

AASK provides all social work services necessary to adopt a child from foster care at NO COST to our families.  Additionally, families who adopt children from the foster care system, receive a monthly stipend until their children reach age eighteen.

Please join us for a free informational workshop about the possibilities of providing a permanent home to a child.  Workshops are held on the 2nd Tuesday of the month from 7:00-9:00pm in our Oakland office at 8201 Edgewater Drive Suite #103 Oakland, CA 94621.
