Human rights advance in California!

The California Supreme Court just announced its decision that same-sex marriages are indeed constitutional in the state. The money quote is on page 7:
Furthermore, in contrast to earlier times, our state now recognizes that an individual's capacity to
establish a loving and long-term committed relationship with another person and responsibly to care
for and raise children does not depend upon the individual's sexual orientation, and more generally,
that an individual's sexual orientation--like a person's race or gender--does not constitute a legitimate
basis upon which to deny or withhold legal rights. We therefore conclude that in view of the substance
and significance of the fundamental constitutional right to form a family relationship, the California
Constitution properly must be interpreted to guarantee this basic civil right to all Californians, whether
gay or heterosexual, and to same-sex couples as well as to opposite-sex couples.
Congrats to all!
