BREAKING: Proposition 8 ruled unconstitutional

In a landmark victory, a federal judge declared Proposition 8 unconstitutional, after a long-awaited decision.

In a 136-page ruling, Judge Vaughn Walker has ruled that California’s Proposition 8 should be overturned.

According to the Dallas Voice:

The defense has said it will appeal Walker’s decision to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, and the case is expected to eventually wind up before the U.S. Supreme Court.

The defense has also requested a stay of Walker’s ruling pending appeal, but Walker has not yet ruled on that request. If the stay is granted as expected, same-sex couples could not begin marrying in California right away.

The conclusion of the ruling:

“Proposition 8 fails to advance any rational basis in singling out gay men and lesbians for denial of a marriage license. Indeed, the evidence shows Proposition 8 does nothing more than enshrine in the California Constitution the notion that opposite- sex couples are superior to same-sex couples. Because California has no interest in discriminating against gay men and lesbians, and because Proposition 8 prevents California from fulfilling its constitutional obligation to provide marriages on an equal basis, the court concludes that Proposition 8 is unconstitutional.”

And an excerpt from the ruling:

A private moral view that same-sex couples are inferior to opposite-se couples is not a proper basis for legislation.

Judge in Massachusetts says that the ban on gay marriage is unconstitutional.

“Gay advocates are hailing a U.S. district court ruling in Boston, that could bring federal recognition to gay marriages from Massachusetts. On Thursday, the judge said part of the federal Defense of Marriage Act — or DOMA — is unconstitutional.”

Islands in the Stream and East Side Story by Igor Grubic

Fri 16 - Sat 31 Jul 2010

Familiar to warehouses, squats and other informal spaces, ‘Islands in the Stream’ is the first institutional exhibition of work by six young radically queer and transgender artist/activists all with shared histories in Brisbane.

Featuring works such as ‘Boys are Cheats and Liars’ (video) and ‘I’m a F**n Clone U Piece of Sh**t-head’ (textile), the exhibition registers a note of the personal and the regional from within a transglobally networked, radically post-identity politics movement.

Accompanying ‘Islands in the Stream’ is a double-channel video piece by Croatian artist Igor Grubic that takes footage of violent citizen reactions to the first gay-rights marches in Belgrade (2001) and Zagreb (2002) as a choreographic text.

Supported by Creative Sparks

This exhibition is recommended for ages 18+. Potentially offensive content and/or language.

Please note different exhibition opening times.

Fri 16 - Sun 18 July 12noon - 7pm
Wed 21 - Sun 25 July 12noon - 7pm
