Pelosi Statement on Marriage Equality Ruling

WASHINGTON, Aug. 4 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Speaker Nancy Pelosi issued the following statement on the ruling announced today by U.S. District Court Judge Walker in the case of Perry v. Schwarzenegger:

"I am extremely encouraged by the ruling today, which found that Proposition 8 violated both the due process and equal protection clauses of the U.S. Constitution. Proposition 8 has taken away individual rights and freedoms, and is a stain upon the California Constitution.

"We must continue to fight against discriminatory marriage amendments and work toward the day when all American families are treated equally."
