David just asked me,

"I wonder how fast the Wedding Chapel at Disneyland is going to book up?"

As I recall, there's not a law like MA's in CA which would ban out-of-state couples.

I dared Dave to head downstairs and whistle "Chapel of Love" around his phobic Bother-in-Law (aka a blood relation of mine I'd rather not admit or claim).

It feels great to celebrate now, but I fear this victory may be short lived - the fundagelicals will be out in force in Nov. to try again to take this away.

The question came up in Paddbear's journal: http://paddbear.livejournal.com/164141.html?thread=368685#t368685

Amendments that are crafted to remove now-exiting rights tend to not have a very good chance of getting anywhere.

They tried and failed here. After a couple of years of same-sex marriage, with the sky staying firmly in place, most folks in MA tended to look at it as a non-issue...especially in light of other important stuff going on that actually *did* affect them...

Congratulations! And, Ah-nuld has come out and said he supports the Court's decision and will not veto any further laws allowing gay marriage, and he does not support any amendment banning gay marriage. Go do your thing!

Actually I read that AH-NOLD will support this decision...for a change. I think this time the fundies may have lost.

Congratulations!

While the anti-marriage equality forces will gather a lot of steam in the wake of this election, they may well be overwhelmed by an enthusiastic turnout for Obama.

Unfortunately, initiative constitutional amendments only need 50% plus 1 to pass and can only be repealed by the voters.

It strikes me that constitutional amendments should require 2/3 of the voters to approve.
