Reuters:

U.S. District Court Chief Judge Vaughn Walker also ordered the voter-approved ban, known as Proposition 8, immediately lifted to allow gay and lesbian couples to marry while the case moves to a higher court.

Prop 8 supporters had sought to keep the measure in place pending the outcome of their appeal.

But Vaughn said the lawsuit challenging Prop 8 “demonstrated by overwhelming evidence” that it violates due process and equal-protection rights under the U.S. Constitution.

You might remember way back when, Apple donated $100k to the “no on prop 8″ gay marriage ban. Even with Apple’s support, the ban passed. Almost 2 years later, Apple can feel like they got their money’s worth.
