CA lifts ban on gay marriage
Just got a text message from my friend Michelle, and I wanted to share the big news: it looks like the California Supreme Court has lifted the ban on gay marriage. Regardless of whether you’re a big fan of the institution itself, I think many will agree that at least it says something about the validity of same-sex relationships.
Edited to add: My partner just reminded me that after we had lived in Massachusetts for a couple of years, Mass got gay marriage. After we’ve lived in California for a couple of years, California gets gay marriage. We’re moving to Ohio next - I’ll be sure and keep folks posted on our progress!

The criticisms of my students would serve as a good warning to visitors of Seeworthy: she talks too fast, she's too hard on us, she assigns too much work, and you have to be a dyke to get a good grade.
In other words, I'm a big, fat, queer, feminist meanie, and I am totally out to get you. Graaagh!
I’m happy about this. Good on Ahnuld. lol
I may not be gay, but I gave a whoop of joy and actually shed a few tears of joy over this.
Of course, now the battle truly begins, but dammit, this is BEAUTIFUL!!!!
I totally cried the happy crying.
“Our state now recognizes that an individual’s capacity to establish a loving and long-term committed relationship with another person and responsibly to care for and raise children does not depend upon the individual’s sexual orientation, and, more generally, that an individual’s sexual orientation — like a person’s race or gender — does not constitute a legitimate basis upon which to deny or withhold legal rights”
Will the California Supreme Court marry me?
It’s almost like we’re human! How heartening that some part of the US judical system believes that.
Yay!
I’m not gay, but this is a good thing for justice and equity.
you and your partner should move to NY, you seem to bring the gay marriage luck
