Great news, indeed! Even greater news is that Ahnold has promised to abide by the court's decision, and NOT support the upcoming state constitutional amendment outlawing gay marriage. So, this is a done deal.

This comes at a very interesting time for me. My partner and I are getting married on August 31. We are a same-sex couple, and we live in Canada where gay marriage came into being in 2005 (country-wide.) So, naturally, we are really thrilled to know that finally the U.S. seems to be taking a step in the progressive social direction. It is certainly about time.

Wasn't that simply short of amazing on the governor's part Zasel? I am very surprised by that.

Put another way: If you are a
loving couple in this fine and baffled state, your particular
combination of genitalia has officially been deemed irrelevant as far
as whether or not you may hold a lovely little ceremony and enjoy a
year or three of wedded bliss and buy a tiny condo you can't really
afford, and then fight about money and who gets to name the dog as you
lose that once-omnipotent romantic spark and rarely have sex anymore
and eat your meals in silence as half of you get divorced in about 5.3
years and end up back on the dating scene, wondering whatever happened
to your dreams. ...
