My congrats to everyone involved at this historic moment. Here's the decision:

Please Note: It's on the ballot in November. Please get out and defeat the pitiful effort to overturn an individual right via majoritarian tantrum.:thumb:

I'm a supporter in same sex marriage... incl multiple partner marriage, that'll be the next hurdle after this one is legalized. Think so?
My main ideal is for two individuals to be able to form a civil marriage contract (I prefer the term marriage. Folks have made perfectly valid comments on civil unions as well here.) Do I believe polygamy etc. is coming? No. I don't morally oppose it, but it is generally used as a slippery slope argument by opponents of same-sex marriage. I think one has to be very specific when addressing this issue.Quote:

MG you crack me up with your cynicism!!!!
I think the religious polygamists give polygamy a bad name...
Oh, just think of the GOOD possibilities!!!
It would make family law a lot more interesting :1orglaugh :thumb:Quote:

It is too early to tell if these stats will hold: http://www.boston.com/news/globe/edi...family_values/ Massachusetts had the lowest divorce rate even after the legalization of same-sex marriage in 2003 . It is kind of amusing which states were highest.Quote:

Ironically, Bush may have helped swing this vote. He nominated conservative Cali Supreme Court Justice Janice Rogers Brown (staunch opponent of same-sex marriage) to the D.C. Circuit. 4-3 decision. I haven't read as yet whether her replacement was in the majority.Quote:

We felt just the same. Its of MY belief that marriage exists within, and bound by a vow.
Its personal...
But some people feel its necessary to do the deed, and they should have that right.
I am happy for them, but in my mind its mute issue... Gas prices are more important... all that aside, that truly makes you happy, go for it... i have no problem
Gas prices suck.
I'm a rebel...
i was a supporter when it was illegal
now that's it's legal... I say "BAN Gay marriage!!"
...kidding kidding-- I'm a faggot myself and though I don't plan on getting married with my partner just yet, I'm happy for all of those that want to do it ASAP .. CONGRATULATIONS :)
HAHA, you rawk TH!!!
If you call someone who's gay a faggot, which originated as a cigarette, something that ya suck on, what is a bi chick?
Just bi?
The word we use most commonly is "awesome".Quote:

That was a good comeback!
A faggot is a bundle of sticks that was set on fire.Quote:

I totally believe this was engineered by the Republicans.
Now it's a campaign issue.
Fuck gas prices, fuck the endless war in Iraq, MCCAIN WILL SAVE US FROM THE HOMOS DANCING IN THE STREETS
hey, it worked to get rid of Kerry. Think of all the muy macho Mexicans who will vote against this. And for the Repubs, who will try and kill it.
I said a while back if they looked like they were gonna lose gay marraige was gonna become a campaign issue again. SURE ENOUGH.
That's why somenone's also referred to as a flaming homosexual - one who's so obvious he'd be yanked out of his bed at 6 am and set on fire at the stake the next morning.
The very awesome Sabrina has been working around the clock on fund-raisers to get this measure passed and it looks like she did a great job!
Kudos to Sabrina! :)
A true union is not a state sanctioned affair. But the benefits that the state allows is the true victory?
Congrats to all affected. And I agree with MG, may they suffer in marriage as the straight do.
I'm giving it up for Sabrina.
A victory for human rights!
Thats a good way of putting it.
