WOOOOOOOOO!
Thursday, May 15th, 2008Ladies and Gentleman, give it up for California!
Accordingly, insofar as the provisions of sections 300 and 308.5 draw a distinction between opposite-sex couples and same-sex couples and exclude the latter from access to the designation of marriage, we conclude these statutes are unconstitutional.
Here’s a great big Fuckin’-A! for equal marriage rights, and for Californians. My wife and I were married in Santa Cruz, so I feel like my marriage has become that much more legitimate.
And finally, to folks disappointed by this decision, and feel that it threatens the institution of marriage… I understand why you might feel this way, but I can’t sympathize. Your efforts to deny people in loving, committed relationships from realizing the legal and societal benefits of tying the knot have failed, and I couldn’t be happier.
And really, if your marriage could be threatened by this, it means your partner is already gay. There’s nothing you can do about that, but you’re welcome to stay married to them if you want to.
