(CNN) -- A federal judge in California on Wednesday overturned the state's ban on same-sex marriage, saying the voter-approved rule violated the constitutional rights of gays and lesbians.

The decision, issued by Chief U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker in San Francisco, is an initial step in what will likely be a lengthy legal fight over California's Proposition 8, which defined marriage as a union between a man and a woman.

At stake in the trial was whether California's ban on same-sex marriage violated the constitutional rights to equal protection and due process of two gay couples that want to marry.

The case was watched closely by both supporters and opponents of same-sex marriage, as many say it is likely to wind its way up to the U.S. Supreme Court. If it does, the case could end in a landmark decision on whether people in the United States are allowed to marry people of the same sex.

"We are thrilled with today's ruling, which affirms that the protections enshrined in our U.S. Constitution apply to all Americans and that our dream of equality and freedom deserves protection," said Geoff Kors, executive director for Equality California, shortly after the decision.

hooray! a district court ruled that the U.S. Constitution actually does mean something!

now we just wait for the appeal to go to the Ninth Circuit, and then to the Supreme Court, and end up being remanded back down in an endless judicial circlejerk. hooray!

    Well you see, assholes came in and scared people about sodomy in the streets and mass raping of straight men if Proposition 8 passed or didn't pass or whatever the fuck the stupid wording of it was.

    Literally, people said they couldn't understand if voting for it or against it was in line with their views. Now that's government inaction...I mean in action.
