Hallelujah.
Yesterday the California Supreme Court ruled that banning same-sex couples from marriage was unconstitutional and not in keeping with the state's political ethic. That makes California (the world's 8th largest economy) the 2nd state to legalize gay marriage following Massachusettes' revolutionary stand. Mitt Romney, by the way, fought that legislation tooth and nail only to fail to overturn the new law.
Okay New York. Follow suit. It is inevitable. It is humane and it is human. It is the only right thing to do.
Not that all gays are interested. The very first disagreement David and I ever had was over my wanting a commitment ceremony and his reticence. Part of it arose from family differences and the leanings of friends. David felt my family would be flying in for meetings with the caterer and florist and my friends throwing showers while most of his family would refuse to attend and his friends would roll their eyes. But it is very important to me. Much more than I realized even a few years ago.
So, believe me, the next time I see a guy for more than just a few casual dates, he is going to be asked if he is the marrying kind. And, if wants me around, he'd better be!
