California ban on same-sex marriage struck down

Hurrah!

"In contrast to earlier times, our state now recognizes that an individual's capacity to establish a loving and long-term committed relationship with another person and responsibly to care for and raise children does not depend upon the individual's sexual orientation," the court said in the 120-page ruling, "and, more generally, that an individual's sexual orientation -- like a person's race or gender -- does not constitute a legitimate basis upon which to deny or withhold legal rights."

Cali verdict I believe. You

Cali verdict I believe.

You know what, good for the folks that needed this.

Dude, where the hell have you been? Did I hear rightly that you might have a significant other that you have not brought home to us??????????????????

I've had a busy year. I miss

I've had a busy year. I miss you guys a lot, and I don't know when I'll see you all again - I've got a few weddings to go to this summer, which are going to drain my free time and traveling money.

And not only do I have a significant other, I have a fiancee :-) Now that I think about it, I met her since the last time I saw you, back at OATS. We've only been together 9 months, but it couldn't be going better, and we're gettin hitched next September.
