Congrats to the new Mr. & Mrs.
In other exciting marriage news...on Wednesday, Prop 8 was overturned by the honorable judge Vaughn Walker. Walker decided that Prop 8:
"fails to advance any rational basis in singling out gay men and lesbians for denial of a marriage license. Indeed, the evidence shows Proposition 8 does nothing more than enshrine in the California Constitution the notion that opposite-sex couples are superior to same-sex couples. … Because Proposition 8 prevents California from fulfilling its constitutional obligation to provide marriages on an equal basis, the court concludes that Proposition 8 is unconstitutional.”

It's 2010 for crying out loud. Why are we still even having this argument?
Love is love. Regardless of who shares it.
I don't understand what those who oppose the marriage of same-sex couples, are against. I think I read an argument somewhere that if "the institution (doesn't that sound horrible?) is made flexible by allowing same-sex couples to join in - what's next?" Um, seriously. What is next. Nothing! is next. Are they implying that Armageddon is to follow?
Let us remind ourselves of a little well-known statement on a very important historical document: We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal...
It's time already to equalize. Enough with the hatred and double-standards.
It's marriage! That's all. No more, no less. And everyone should be privy to it.
