Off-Topic: California State Supreme Court Rules In Favor Of Gay Marriage
My jaw is still stuck on the floor...
I'd like to take a moment away from comic books to bring you this:
The California Supreme Court just ruled in favor of gay marriage this morning by a vote of 4-3 and I'm still kind of absorbing the aftershocks of this news. Hopefully this provides the impetus needed for a national policy.
In a 4-3 decision, the justices said the state's ban on same-sex marriage violates the "fundamental constitutional right to form a family relationship." The ruling is likely to flood county courthouses with applications from couples newly eligible to marry when the decision takes effect in 30 days.
One caveat though, this decision may be repudiated by voters come November. But progress is progress!
What do you readers think? Are you jumping for joy? Getting hitched? Let us know!

As nice as it is to hear news like this, I wouldn't be surprised if a politician tries to draft a similarly hateful piece of legislation in the near future, seeing as how 60% of voters passed Proposition 22 in 2000.
Still, tonight will see celebrating!
Oh wow. I absolutely didn't see this coming.
hi2u boy of tomorrow. :3
Aww, welcome back, BoT! And quit raining on our parade! What may happen in the future may happen in the future.
Right now? It's a celebration, bitches!
That totally rocks my socks off.
