In a monumental victory for the gay rights movement, the California Supreme Court overturned a voter-approved ban on gay marriage Thursday in a ruling that would allow same-sex couples in the nation's biggest state to tie the knot.

I see. Exactly they brought this disaster upon themselves, show me one person who is happily married? (if they say they are happy they are lying and too afraid to tell the truth) The institution of marriage is nothing but legalized prostitution that brings unhappiness, disturbed emotions, and all sorts of struggle, emotional turmoil to keep up with your nut-case commitment to somebody while you both are changing constantly.

Still we have to let them suffer just like how we straights are let free for our sufferings. I have no right to stop them to go to their dooms.

Wil be honest , cant take part in here, for have declined attitude to homosexuality! We can discuss about social surroundings, but my ultimate guidance is what is natural!
So, sorry i do not belong to this TREND which support this as a kind of social behavior, for me it is deviation!

Okay maybe I am the freak here but why not allow all to be happy...I beleive if they truley love each other then get married..I only wish all could take all people into their hearts no matter who they marry...for it is thier choice not ours. Half of us striaght folks arent even hap[y in our marriages and alot of gays are so...
