California Allows Gay Marriage

In a sweeping move towards justice and basic human decency, the California Supreme Court has overturned an on-its-face unconstitutional law prohibiting same-sex marriage. MSNBC reported this reaction from California's governor.

"I respect the court's decision and as governor, I will uphold its ruling," said Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger in a statement. "Also, as I have said in the past, I will not support an amendment to the constitution that would overturn this (ruling)."

There is evil afoot, however.

An initiative drive is under way in California to change the state constitution to restrict marriage to members of the opposite sex.

Still, this is a proud day for both Californians and Americans as a whole.
