First Massachusetts 2 years ago, then New York to follow, and now California?!? Damn, I left America just as things are getting better! Need any more proof that the Coasts are where it's at, and the Fly-over states suck it?
May 17 is International Day Against Homophobia, a world-wide rally. Please wear either red or rainbow in support of it. The recent court cases:
Martinez v. County of Monroe.
New York Supreme Court, Appellate Division, 2008. The court ruled unanimously that because New York legally recognizes out-of-state marriages of opposite-sex couples, it must do the same for same-sex couples. The county is seeking leave to appeal the decision.
In re Marriage Cases
California Supreme Court, 2008. The court ruled 4-3 that limiting marriage to opposite-sex couples is invalid under the equal protection clause of the California Constitution, and that full marriage rights, not merely domestic partnership, must be offered to same-sex couples.
