I just now saw the American headlines about the gay marriage ruling in California and I’m overwhelmed and elated. I can think of only one or two moments in my life when I was this pleased with political developments. This decision will allow me and many of the people I care about most in the world to marry the men and women we love.
Marriage is the ultimate social sanction of a relationship, and I felt that immediately upon reading the headlines. How can anyone now look down on gay and lesbian relationships as somehow inferior when they have not just the same legal rights but the same status as heterosexual relationships? How can anyone look down on gay families?
I’m optimistic that California voters will support gay marriage in November, even though they didn’t in 2000. And even though I believe the governor is a slimey, opportunistic, misogynistic *******, I am incredibly grateful that he is supporting gay marriage. Please help spread the message to everyone you know to support full equality for all Californians this November.
