Kudos to the California Supreme Court in its ruling that denying gays the right to marry is unconstitutional. We believe that homosexuals should have the same right to be miserable as everyone else. On a more serious note, isn't marriage the perfect antidote to the stereotypical "wanton, indiscriminate sex" that seemed to be behind much of the aversion in the first place? As far as speculation over a "constitutional amendment" banning gay marriage goes, who are we to judge the rights of others? That's what the courts are for.
(Editor's disclosure-- We haven't always supported gay marriage; we must admit that in our youth we felt that, while homosexuals should be afforded the same rights and protections, it should be done under a different name. Our position has evolved over time into its current form: namely, the old adage that "separate is inherently unequal")
