I just heard on NPR and a couple of the attorneys came by to mention it. This is good news.

Being gay is no longer an excuse to avoid marriage!

Another proposal from a man today?
My inbox is full as it is.
I'll add you to the list.

I'd marry someone all right, but I have to un-domestic partnership with someone else first...

I bet LB Pride is gonna be a celebration too!

I'll be there with some friends. Is anyone else going?

Gemini Cricket · 05-15-2008, 11:25 AM

I'm going.
With George.
I think iSm should come along.
I'm trying to hook them up.

I've started reading the decision. It looks like, in the early reading that the decision is essentially that since the substantive traits of marriage are granted to homosexuals through domestic partnerships, that there is an impingement on equality of dignity in giving them a different name than marriage.

I wonder if this means that the issue could be resolved by getting rid of domestic partnerships or defining them to also exclude homosexuals (not advocating that, just curious if it would eliminate the constitutional issue
this decision settles).

Does that translate to: "I am a donut puncher"?
