so the california supreme court just overturned the gay marriage ban
which means - cali homos - we are likely to be able to haz marriage

this is a big deal.

i know not everyone wants to support the patriachal whooha that is marriage
but damn it's nice to make that decision for yourself and not have the state make it for you

Exactly. This is cool.

Yep -- thanks for this phrasing, c! :)

Woo-hoo! I don't care much about the whho-ha, but I sure do care about being recognized as an adult full citizen with equal rights under the law.
Too bad I don't live in CA. ;)

Marriage has problems for sure, but it also sure is nice to feel like I'm not a second-class citizen.

Sometimes when I think humanity sucks and the courts represent only the short-sighted and evil side some things go well.

YAY for the dignity of everyone!

agreed.

Yeah. I'd much rather the state get the hell out of 'marriage' entirely and offer civil unions to ANYONE who wants to be legally tied together for any reason, so in some ways I see this as a step backwards...but I can't not be happy about it.
