As someone who lives here, this is long overdue. Of all places, California should have been the leader in this arena. Unfortunately, it took the courts to recognize that the democratic process was running contrary to basic civil rights and had to make a tough decision to overrule the population.
That being said, this is a battle that is on it's last legs for the opposition. It's only a matter of time for all 50 states to follow suit. We are now at the point that those who are vocally against this sound as backward as those who were against the African-American civil rights movement in the 60s.
I am hopeful that this country recognizes that this is the time to make the change and becoming fully accepting of gay and lesbian couples.
