After two years of intense debate, Proposition 8 – a measure passed in November 2008 banning same-sex marriage in the state of California – was ruled unconstitutional Wednesday (August 4) by a federal judge.
In celebration, our fav celebrity baby makers took to Twitter!
@tonyhawk Dear neighbor: your prop H8 lawn banner was previously ineffective. No need to put it up again; there are only 4 houses in our cul-de-sac.
@jennajameson congrats to all my amazing friends on the demolishment of prop 8
@britneyspears So happy! Today is a great day for love and equality. Congrats California!
@schwarzenegger This decision affirms the full legal protections and safeguards I believe everyone deserves
@shannamoakler Tonight we celebrate! EQUALITY and LOVE for all! #NOH8

That comment from Schwarzenegger is pretty rich, considering he vetoed the bill to allow gay marriage that was passed by the CA legislature.
He’s a politician… and politicians really suck.
I’m so freaking happy Prop 8 was overturned. This is awesome!
Yay! Thanks for posting this, CBS!!!
P.S. Tony Hawk’s tweet is really funny.
Have to agree with anon above. It’s really cool, CBS, that you posted this with all the tweets.
Shutup Tony
