Cinchntouch, I expect a wedding invite!
May. 15th, 2008 12:29 pmThe California Supreme Court just gave the green light to same-sex marriages in this state:

(Caveat: I do not believe in government overseeing marriages. Nonetheless, since the possibility of government pulling out of the marriage business seems highly unlikely, wrap this one up, I'll take it.)
Sometimes I'm asked why I am for same sex marriage in a state that has domestic partnerships. My answer is that if you have a MARRIAGE you know what to expect. Domestic partnerships are not the same thing as civil unions are not the same thing as marriage. If you are married you know you have to go to divorce court when the marriage ends. If you're in a domestic partnership you do as well, but it's not obvious from the name.
