Today is definitely a great news day, for black Americans, for gay Americans, for ALL Americans. Today Barack Obama is our nominee for President of the United States. Yay!!!
And the California Supreme Court has decided not to delay its ruling on same-sex marriage, and therefore will not stand in the way of couples marrying.
Unfortunately, an initiative has made it onto the ballot for November that would amend the state constitution to ban gay marriage. The passage of that bill would overrule the court's decision. Hopefully that doesn't happen. In the meantime, however, hundreds and thousands of gays and lesbians will legally be allowed to marry in the state of California starting on June 17th. Yaaaaay!!!
Congratulations everybody. :)
