Victory Over Prop 8 Celebration in Silicon Valley

Although this is a major victory on the way to achieving full equality, the decision will be appealed by Prop. 8 supporters to the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which handles federal appeals for the western states. The case is likely to eventually make it to the U.S. Supreme Court. But on the evening of August 4th, celebrants put aside those concerns for the moment as they rallied in Mountain View.
