SAN FRANCISCO -- When I heard about Judge Vaughn Walker’s ruling on same-sex marriage, I immediately thought of one person.
Judge Susan Bolton.
On July 28, Susan Bolton issued an injunction that defanged the anti-immigrant SB 1070 in Arizona.
On Aug. 4, Vaughn Walker found California’s Proposition 8, which outlawed same-sex marriage, unconstitutional.
For this, they will both be tarred as “judicial activists.” Judge Bolton has received death threats. Judge Walker is being denounced.
I have no idea if the two judges know each other, but within one week, these two justices suddenly brought together two parts of who I am. As a gay immigrant, I am used to juggling identities, never sure which one is acceptable in which setting, which one I should check at the door.
