Ruling for equal marriage rights would be "just"


The Los Angeles Times, in an editorial, calls on the California Supreme Court to do the right thing and rule in favor of equal marriage rights.

"In 1948, the court was accused of thwarting the will of the people when it struck down the ban on interracial marriage; it would face similar condemnation if it ruled that 'equal protection of the laws' requires the same treatment for heterosexual and same-sex couples," the Times writes. "But, as in 1948, the result would be the just one."
