You know what really "sucks" about being clairvoyant?
No Surprises.
Still despite the Supreme Court Justices "punting" on this one like Ray Guy...and I told you so BTW...Prop 8 and DOMA were both overturned. Imagining the popping of champagne corks all over the Valley tonight and across the Bay...and make no mistake about it...this is Historic! The other explosions you can hear are the religious fanatics...a great deal of the GOP...and a vast number of garden-variety homophobes as their heads spontaneously emplode from the news.
Want entertainment you can't buy.
Take a moment and peruse the comment section on CNN regarding the news. (...bring popcorn and a cold drink...)
LMAO.
And although this decision directly affected the the over 28,000 married gay couples in California...and the many many more who will now have the "right" to marry the one they love...and gave benefits to gay couples living in those States that already recognize gay marriage...it affects us all. By prying the closet door just a bit further open. By setting a precedence for cases to come. And there will be cases. And the answer to those cases will be much like this one. Creating a second class of citizens is UNCONSTITUTIONAL. Until at last...just like the Civil Rights Act...it will slowly dawn on them that we can't trust the States to "...do the right thing..." because...well...go ask a black man or woman over the age of 60 living in the South...how well this works. The Genie is out of the bottle...or closet...and no matter how hard anyone tries...it's not going back in. Ever.
And that is a good thing.
Whether you are straight or gay...Today is an Amazing day to be an American! A Toast to Humanity!
