yay gays!

Amazingly my own state's supreme court sided with, i dunno, justice, and ruled that the ban on allowing same-sex couples the same rights as opposite-sex couples was inconsistent with the California constitution. fuckin' finally.
what we really need is for the government to get out of the marriage business altogether.

Rude Pundit, as usual, has some good points.

Goddamn, the Rude Pundit wishes he had been in the Castro in San Francisco last night. The most color-coordinated neighborhood in America must have been an explosion of festive, orgasmic jouissance the likes of which haven't been seen since the U.S. Supreme Court declared that it was totally legal to get blow and rim jobs all over the nation. The streets must have run with man chowder, the lights must have dimmed from all the vibrators being charged up, the convenience stores and pharmacies must have run out of chapstick and condoms, the air must have been filled with beautiful cries and joyous curses, and, this morning, there must be many sore knees, tongues, assholes, cocks, and twats. Yes, yes, to have been there last night, after the kind of V-Gay Day the queer community experienced, would be to have experienced ecstasy in all its fulfilling forms.
