Any news on whether this will happen or will they wait until the ruling by the Circuit Court?

I am guessing sooner than that. I may not understand it, I may have mixed feelings, but I do think it will happen. I am guessing in the next 15 to 20 years. The interesting thing: our foster daughter is a lesbian and in a relationship for 20 years. They live in Portland: I asked her the other day if they would get married when the law changes? She said she didn't think so. She could see no reason why they would need to or want to; they do have legal domestic partnership with all the rights a marriage would give them. At least that is how she sees it.

We went to a gay wedding in September. It was held on a Tuesday, which I thought was odd, until the grooms announced that that was the 46th anniversary of the date they met. I teased both of them that they were going to ruin a perfectly good relationship by getting married

Yes it is totally legal in California.
My old boss rushed to get married in August, about 6 weeks after the Supreme Court decision, since they wanted to apply for a green card for his husband.

It will be legal in most places sooner than 30 years. Personally I don't much care who marries who. I don't get the big hoopla over it. Gay people should get married. Now they can be as miserable as straight married people.

My wife was working at a wedding for two women last month. Gov. Jerry Brown officiated the wedding.

There is not one single domestic partnership that grants all the rights, benefits or safeguards that come with a civil marriage contract, if her partner dies, they are subject to inheritance tax that they could otherwise avoid if they were to get legally married. The federal government will not recognize their domestic partnership, the state may, but not the feds.

I'm more of a conservative. But heck... I like freedom. Do as you wish, as long as it doesn't effect me.
