[NRP: California Supreme Court Approves Gay Marriage]

* The Court, with a 6/7 Republican majority, ruled ban on gay marriage unconstitutional by a 4-3 vote.

* You don't have to be a Cal resident to get marry there.

* This ruling takes effect in 30 days.

 

YES! Thank you!

Finally, *all* Californians are equal. (well, until November!)

 

Something that neither Hilary Clinton or Barrack Obama dare to even think of. John McCain? Forget it.

 

Stuart Gaffney & John Lewis, thank you for fighting the battle for all of us. I wish you both a long and happy life together.

 

"It is a basic civil right to marry someone you love, which include all Californians whether they are gay or hetersexual"

"Our recognition that the constitutional right to marry applies to same-sex couples as well as to opposite-sex couples does not diminish any other person’s constitutional rights."

- California Supreme Court 5/15/2008

 

"Not a day goes by that I don’t think of Richard and our love, and how much it meant to me to have that freedom to marry the person precious to me, even if others thought he was the ‘wrong kind of person’ for me to marry."

"I believe all Americans, no matter their race, no matter their sex, no matter their sexual orientation, should have that same freedom to marry."

- the late Mildred Loving, a black woman who successfully challenged Virginia's ban on interracial marriage at the Supreme Court in 1967, despite an overwhelming opposition from the general public.

 

2 States down. 48 more to go!
