Joyous ceremonies, attended by hundreds, are taking place for Kris Perry and Sandy Stier in San Francisco's opulent City Hall at 4:45 PM (Pacific Time) with the Attorney General himself officiating. At 6:15 PM Paul Katami and Jeff Zarillo will be wed in Los Angeles City Hall.

The momentum is on the side of Marriage Equality.
Good for them.

After years of gays screaming to stay out of their bedrooms they went and got the government to stick it's nose in their bedrooms.

I suppose we have to pay judges to settle their gay divorces too.

The pacific plate is moving northwest, and will take the coast of California with it eventually.

San Andreas Fault - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Quote:
All land west of the fault on the Pacific Plate is moving slowly to the northwest while all land east of the fault is moving southwest (relatively southeast as measured at the fault) under the influence of plate tectonics. The rate of slippage averages about 33 to 37 millimeters (1.3 to 1.5 in) a year across California.[6]
Quote:
Assuming the plate boundary does not change as hypothesized, projected motion indicates that the landmass west of the San Andreas Fault, including Los Angeles, will eventually slide past San Francisco, then continue northwestward toward the Aleutian Trench, over a period of perhaps twenty million years.
The SE to NW motion should be obvious after looking at a map of Hawaii for about 10 seconds.

Anyway, carry on.

They wanted marriage, they got it. Now, they can also have the divorce lawyers, the community property arguments, the alimony, the child support, and all the rest that goes with divorce, that they didn't have to deal with before.
I think it is hilarious!
First of all "Divorce" isn't funny for either "straight" or "Gay" couples! What is funny is how bigots who scream about the "Sanctity" of marriage have close to a 50% Divorce rate in the US!

I don't understand why so many homosexuals love to throw around the word "bigot" if someone doesn't want to endorse homosexuality.

Many view it as unnatural behavior, it's really that simple.

I think fat women engage in unnatural behavior, but Im not trying to pass laws to stop them from cramming food in thier faces Of course, fat chicks are harming themselves by pigging out. I'm not harming myself by marrying my fiancé, in fact, statistics show it to benefit my health!

A poor comparison. Blacks are a race; homosexuals are not.

Meanwhile, you'd think God would have protected Oklahoma towns from F-5 tornadoes this past Spring, considering how anti-gay its people and politicians are, such as State Rep. Sally Kern.

What does it mean to endorse homosexuality? To go to their same sex weddings?

And many others describe that view as bigotry. That's not rocket science either.
