California legislature passes bill legalizing gay marriage, AGAIN.

For the second time in three years a bill legalizing gay marriage in California will go to the Governor's desk. It will probably be vetoed again. Although this is infuriating it is also progress. This makes California's the only legislature in the country to approve gay marriage. Massachusetts is the only state where gay marriage is legal, but that was by decree of the courts. Although I agree with the courts and the point that the majority do not get to remove the rights of the minority, having the courts force the issue plays into the Republican Party's fear-mongering about "activist judges." I'll mourn his veto later: it is a good day when gay marriage goes to the Governor's desk.
