Good. It's about time. Does my heart good every time I read about some 80-year old couple finally getting married because it is now legal to do so.

I agree....There's no reason it should of taken so long since in Las Vegas, of all places, anything goes. Looks good on em to wake up and fall of some of those religious perches. Cheers to all those couples who can finally have their relationships and commitments recognized.

About time. Should help out the economy a bit. Pretty big pool of people wanting to get married just opened up to us.

It's an embarrassment that it took this long for Nevada to join the party. We're usually the FIRST to do something like this. It's definitely a good day, but a shame that it took this long. Even Utah beat us to legalizing gay marriage.

Then legal prostitution should follow. This is the only way to get rid of the pimps and stop the sex slave trade.

Tonite, all the divorce attorney's in Las Vegas may be celebrating at the Bellagio, and making plans to expand their offices!

I'm Gay, and read my bumper sticker: Ban marriage, imprison all violators!

Both me, and my last partner of 10 years, stood firmly against the institution of marriage!

I laugh even more now, when you run into so many Gay people who like say: We're so much smarter than Straight people!

I have a very good friend who lost everything when his partner died of an aneurism. Partner's parents contested the will. And because homosexuals could not legally marry, they took everything -- the house, the investments, the savings. They were the closest relatives and the judge could not rule any other way. (And he became a local pariah for following the law. Another victim in this case.)

Marriage is a bundle of property and power of attorney rights. It's only the troglodytes who invoke Leviticus who say otherwise.

When my last partner passed away, I had no issues with his family whatsoever! A very smooth transition!

Not being materialistic, I told them to help themselves to just about anything he owned. Good riddance! I would have only ended up breaking all the Waterford Crystal, piece by piece!
