California's Supreme Court recently struck down state laws and declared that homosexuals can now get married, and enjoy all of the legal rights (and obligations) that go with it.
Some are saying that the victory parade will be short lived, because there's a movement in California to have the state constitution amended to include a ban on same-sex marriage.
When I heard the wedding bells out of California today, I went back and looked at one of my old pieces from last year. I more or less still feel the same way.
One thing about the California deal that does bother me is that seven people have decided the fate of all Californians, and the voters didn't get to say squat. Courts seem more and more brash when it comes to writing law, and California's courts are certainly no stranger to the legislative quill and ink.
