California Votes "Yes" on Gay Marriage…For Now

15 May 2008, 6:30 pm No Comments

Not that it affects any of our rights, but the California Supreme Court just ruled that the state’s constitution cannot uphold the banning of same-sex marriages. However, this doesn’t mean the war is over. There is a chance that a state-wide constitutional amendment banning gay marriage could be approved by voters in the November elections. Doors open, boys!

A lot of debate rages in the gay community about whether it’s worth divesting our energy into a societal institution that is flawed to begin with, but decisions like this go a long way toward giving us equal status in this country. Now if only I lived in California…and had a husband….this would be doubly exciting!
