Holy Monumental Proposal Batman!

Halle-f&8ckin-lujah

Poor Arnold didn't get his way, but the California Supreme Court has opened their eyes and made decision that I am sure will spark endless debate. And because Utah still doesn't realize or even recognize the separation of church and state has issued a profound statement, “The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints recognizes that same sex marriage can be an emotional and divisive issue. However, the Church teaches that marriage between a man and a woman is ordained of God and that the family is the basic unit of society. Today's California Supreme Court decision is unfortunate."

Don't get me started about what I think is unfortunate about the church, or any religious group sticking their head frankly in a place that it just does not belong.

And I just want to give the mayor of San Francisco a big 'ol smooch for his response "it's about human dignity. It's about human rights. It's about time in California," San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom, pumping his fist in the air, told a roaring crowd at City Hall. "As California goes, so goes the rest of the nation. It's inevitable. This door's wide open now. It's going to happen, whether you like it or not."

And frankly, is it polyandry if I were to make a proposal and marry someone of the same sex in California because I feel so strongly that this always should have been legal, and will be eventually in all 50 states? As Mr. Newsom said, it's wide open now.

Any takers? I am guessing airfare is racking up just so Utah can make it even more difficult so we better get on it quick!

And several others. Too expensive to fly to MA from Utah ;) Pretty soon, Utah will join...wait, no, we are 20 years behind, so in 2028 we will make it legal.

I thought it was ironic (and fucking unfortunate) that the Michigan Supreme Court issued the opposite ruling on the same day.

Viva California!
