California Destroys Republican Hope - Backs Gay Marriage

Wow, the Hope Express has finally pulled out of the freakin' station. We may get our civil rights back soon. It'll be nice leaving the 1950s nightmare Bush has created for a 1960s kind of peace. Maybe by 2020, we'll have caught up with ourselves.

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - The California Supreme Court ruled on Thursday the state cannot bar same-sex marriages, marking a major victory for gay rights advocates that may have national implications.

"Under these circumstances, we cannot find that retention of the traditional definition of marriage constitutes a compelling state interest," the court said in a majority decision.

"Accordingly, we conclude that to the extent the current California statutory provisions limit marriage to opposite-sex couples, these statutes are unconstitutional."
