I do believe that the talking heads (the newcasters, not the band) have already decided that the Court will side with the ban despite the obvious response.
I have never had my hopes very high for this one. Which is why I declined to get married at City Hall when they did it.
I just don't understand why there are groups involved with this that are not in the State of California.
I also don't understand why interracial marriage was declared unconstitutional when MANY more Americans thought it was immoral and a threat to marriage.
AND I also don't understand why gay men and women aren't taking to the streets demanding equal rights. How we have become so apathetic to our own safety.
I will do cartwheels down Market Street if they side with us. But, I am not stretching and practicing for it.
We paid our $10 and did the DP thing with Sacramento in case it was needed for work bennies, but as a SFO native, I would really like to see equality and equity come to CA.
We've been through the "And you are....?" when Dave's been in the hospital.
When I was visiting in California, someone suggested that I could get married at the Spanish Consulate, thus having a truly legal marriage in San Francisco.

Of course, I'd welcome the bloviators being wrong.
