    Congratulations California!!!!

    The California Supreme Court just ruled in favor of same-sex marriage! Everyone whether gay, straight, bisexual, or transgender should have the personal freedom to marry the person they love!!! YES!!!!!!

    Re: California Supreme Court Overturns Ban On Same-Sex Marriage

    Ok, clarification:

    This acts as a state-level marriage, not federal, so we still don't get EVERYTHING like social security. But it's a huuuuge step in the right direction.

    My only fear - and it's a real one - is that this will become a rallying cry for the conservatives of the US. "The homosexual agenda is being forced upon the nation - we must act NOW!"

    Re: California Supreme Court Overturns Ban On Same-Sex Marriage

    Hooray :eusa_clap

    This is cool and all but I'm still worried about it being overturned. I just really don't understand why people make such a big deal about this topic. I personally wouldn't care if someone at the north pole married a polar bear...it's none of my business. Another thing that bothers me is conservative people seem to favor heterosexual people getting married one night then divorcing the next over homosexual people who want a lifetime marriage...End rant...:bang:

    Re: California Supreme Court Overturns Ban On Same-Sex Marriage

    I'm still a little surprised that Massachusetts had the right before California; you'd think the home of San Francisco would be the first to jump on board. But either way, great news! I would be celebrating like crazy if I weren't still in the closet (need to work on that...).
