Yes, now even happy gay people can look forward to unhappy, un-gay gay marriages in CA! Now even gay people will have to deal with their parent's needling them at Thanksgiving dinners...."So, when are YOU two going to get hitched?" "When should WE expect the big day?!"
I loved John Waters' stance on the gay marriage debate, which was, and I paraphrase: Not having to get married is one of the benefits of being gay!
That cracked me up. Kind of like Roseanne Barr's stance on feminism, which for her boiled down to having to lift heavy things. She'd much rather sit back and let the mend do the heavy lifting.
In seriousness, it should be legal. Of course it should. Personally, the idea of standing up in front of a bunch of people and A) declaring my love, B) making a bunch of promises I'll never be certain I'm capable of keeping, C)actually having to talk/perform in front of a room full of people and D) lovingly gaze into my husband-to-be's eyes without totally cracking up becuase loving gazes make me feel completely ridiculous, just makes me want to crawl up into a fetal ball. So if there was a law against EH1812 getting married, I probably wouldn't object.
But, you know, it's the principal of the thing. I have no problem with the government telling me I'm vile, wrong, and going to hell for being me. I do have a problem with my government telling gay people they cannot marry, citing those same reasons.
Still, the pressure is now on you, CA Rainbow People. When are YOU going to get married and give us grandbabies, huh?!
