Victory! California Supreme Court overturns gay marriage ban
A little more politics today, but it’s so worth it! Check out the LA Times article here.
In a 4-3 ruling, the justices rule that state marriage laws are unconstitutional.
SAN FRANCISCO — – The California Supreme Court ruled today that same-sex couples should be permitted to marry, rejecting state marriage laws as discriminatory.
The state high court’s 4-3 ruling was unlikely to end the debate over gay matrimony in California. A group has circulated petitions for a November ballot initiative that would amend the state Constitution to block same-sex marriage, while the Legislature has twice passed bills to authorize gay marriage. Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger vetoed both.
Finally, some decisive action on this! I’m so happy. I’m a huge advocate of equal rights. Now if we got only get into the beyond marriage movement, that would be great…
This is especially exciting for me because we have someone in our office who is now officially married!
Here’s a quote from our shitty, shitty Governor, Mr. Schwarzenegger, that makes me feel a little more secure in today’s ruling:
“I respect the Court’s decision and as Governor, I will uphold its ruling. Also, as I have said in the past, I will not support an amendment to the constitution that would overturn this state Supreme Court ruling.”
Woo hoo! Now we just have to get the rest of the states to realize how stupid it is to keep people who love each other and want to get married from doing it.
Yea California Supreme Court!!!
