The California Supreme Court has ruled that gay marriage bans are unconstitutional, paving the way for full marriage equality here in America's most populous state. This is huge. Massive. Awesome. But, we're not out of the woods yet. There's a push to change the California Constitution to ban gay marriage. Fortunately, there's a lot of people against that, including our governator:
I respect the Court’s decision and as Governor, I will uphold its ruling. Also, as I have said in the past, I will not support an amendment to the constitution that would overturn this state Supreme Court ruling.

So, for the time being, this is fantastic news.
wow, i'm surprised the governator said that. then again, i'm sure he wants to be reelected...
