    This is big.

    Living in Massachusetts and being bisexual, this is huge. I am incredibly excited, as now that will be 2 states in America that allows gay marriage. I really hope California can keep up and allow this change we so desperately need. I mean, of all places, San Francisco is the most well known region in America as a homosexual community. It's only right that they deserve this equality.

    It's about damn time. Now if only the entire USA makes gay marriage legal, we're not living in the fecking middle ages.

    I texted my ex girlfriend who visits her father in California all the time, and she called me up pretty much crying about it. We're hoping Florida smartens up, so that way we can get the vacation trifecta :lol:

    Mhm. One and a half right now, since we're not sure if Cali will continue to allow it once November hits if they do the same crap they did to MA (the vote).

    And I fully agree, every and any part of U.S territory should allow gay marriage.

    My dad said that Clinton was a lesbian. True or no? I told him I didn't really care if she was or wasn't she's evil. :lol:

    I am very happy to hear this and I applaud this decision. It's about time the California Supreme Court got some fucking courage and did the right thing and hopefully other states will follow suit. After all, in my opinion anybody who doesn't support equal rights for Americans (irregardless of their sexual preference or 'race') is a coward.

    ....and was probably born in West Virginia.

    I'm glad they did this. I'm so glad. Hopefully we can start coming out of this "OMG BEING GAY IS A CRIME" thing.

    I'm glad this has happened. I think it's ridiculous that the government thinks it can tell people who they can and can't marry. It's utterly ridiculous.

    For a nation so advanced, we're so far behind every other country as far as morals, integrity and ethics go that it's not even funny.

    If you look at history, most of the technology and ideas we have aren't really new. A lot of it you can see in the past. It just isn't talked about that much, so I wouldn't really call the US advanced. I'd say we're desperately trying to catch up.

    I do agree, though, that most people see the US as an advanced nation.

    Anyway, lets see how long this one lasts.

    ...I see the US more as the trendsetter of all countries. At least imo. I mean...we're all following the trend, that america sets. Clothing, Food, looks, housing, and so on.

    Haha...glad to hear about this! Gay marriage...I don't know what's so wrong about it. God loves us for who we are...why can't every other state?
