A federal appeals court Tuesday struck down California’s ban on same-sex marriage, clearing the way for the U.S. Supreme Court to rule on gay marriage as early as next year.
The 2-1 decision by a panel of the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals found that Proposition 8, the 2008 ballot measure that limited marriage to one man and one woman, violated the U.S. Constitution. The architects of...

She said that I had no right judging something so personal. And while she may...

My English/Journalism teacher, being the great person that she is, immediately said that she can open a damn door by herself and doesn’t need a man to do that. She also has...
