SAN FRANCISCO - California's Supreme Court declared gay couples in the nation's biggest state can marry — a monumental but perhaps short-lived victory for the gay rights movement Thursday that was greeted with tears, hugs, kisses and at least one instant proposal of matrimony.

Same-sex couples could tie the knot in as little as a month. But the window could close soon after — religious and social conservatives are pressing to put a constitutional amendment on the ballot in November that would undo the Supreme Court ruling and ban gay marriage

Yay for CA!!!!! I really hope this doesn't go to a vote though, basic human rights should NOT be subject to the whims of the general public.

Haha, just saw this on the news. Reminds me of how ridiculous the world is.

The APA recognized homosexuality as a mental illness 'til like the late 70s or early 80s. Now 20 years later we're starting to acknowledge that same sex marriage might just be okay.

It's such a stupid battle.

I wish people would wake the fuck up and realize that your skin colour, your sexual preference or your sex isn't a valid reason for criticism/hatred. It's such an easy solution, in theory (uh, get to know someone before you decide whether or not you hate them), but it's so difficult for a lot of people.

I'm not an attractive person but the one time I knew for sure that a guy liked me, it was flattering.
So I bashed that faggot and proved my overpowering masculinity. Bitches!

Agree (1) if you want to hate someone fine. At least get to know them and find decent reasons for hating them.

Actually I think it's algae that's the major source of oxygen but trees are rather useful

Why should they be denied the same rights you have? What is it you don't want them to do? How does being married harm you in any way? I am not asking in a snarky tone, rather a very interested one.
