Gay Marriage Legalized in California!

I am so proud to be a Californian today (even more so than normal, and I am usually pretty obnoxious about it)! This morning, the California Supreme Court declared the state’s ban on same-sex marriage is unconstitutional. Yes! It is about damn time all couples are allowed the same rights. I got a little verklempt reading the news just now and virtually high-fiving my friends back in San Francisco. I can’t wait until I can celebrate the (legally recognized) marriage of two brides or two grooms who are giving this forever thing a shot just like everyone else.

Today is a huge victory, not just for gay marriage, but for love and tolerance and all those crazy things California hippies love so much. For once, I can give my fighting words a rest and enjoy this triumph. Congratulations everyone, and keep up the good fight!

I am doing a report for school, supporting same sex marriage. Would you happen to know where I could find the actual case that said the ban on same-sex marriage was unconstitutional. Even though the decision is no longer upheld, I am writing a paper on why it should be reinstated. Please let me know! Thank you.
