Marriage Equality Gains a Big Victory
The California Supereme Court has ruled the ban on gay marriage in California unconstitutional!
I wonder what McCain'll say about it? Think he'll call of a Constitutional ban on gay marriage like Bush did? Hmm...
In the meantime, I would say that I would prefer the word "marriage" (and some of the legal benefits) be dropped and the government certify "civil unions" between both inter-sex and same-sex couples. But if we're not going to do that, gay couples should be allowed to enter into the exact same legal arrangements as straight couples and get the same benefits and have it called the same goddamn thing. Anything less is degrading.
Given that this is one of those issues where McCain had previously broken with his fellow Republican Senators, voting against a constitutional amendment, any change of position should be viewed as complete pandering to shore up the right.
