Gay Marriage in California

As many of you may now know, today the California Supreme Court overturned the ban on same-gender marriage.  That would allow California to be the second state in the United States of America to have legalized marriage for lesbian and gay couples.

I am very happy about the 4-3 margin decision.  That shows that California is definitely moving in the right direction with equal rights.  However, with the initiative in November, we could easily face some issues if Californians vote that marriage is defined as one man and one woman.  Therefore, our work is still in progress.  But in the meantime, celebrations are still in order.

It makes me wish I was planning to stay in California permanently.  Unfortunately that may not be the case.  Especially since I plan to leave California for graduate school and possibly will make my home elsewhere.  But we'll see.
