It is a great day to be gay

I wish I had something profound to say on this very important day.  Is this the kind of event that 20 years from now Riley will ask me where I was on the day that California reversed the same-sex marriage ban?  Probably not.  But I do -truly- with all my heart- believe that this is a continuation (Massachusetts was the start!) of a civil rights effort that will lead someday to legalized marriage in all states.  Yes, biased conservative groups of which you are too many to name, you should be scared!

here’s the language from the California Supreme Court ruling that overturned the ban on same sex marriage.

Accordingly, we conclude that the right to marry, as embodied in article I,

sections 1 and 7 of the California Constitution, guarantees same-sex couples the

same substantive constitutional rights as opposite-sex couples to choose one’s life

partner and enter with that person into a committed, officially recognized, and

protected family relationship that enjoys all of the constitutionally based incidents

of marriage.
