May 15, 2008, the California Supreme Court cleared the way for same-sex couples to marry.
Court decisions have gotten us excited in the past, only to be overturned by those who differ in opinion. So excitement may have to take a back burner for now, or we'll be licking our wounds later.

June 16, 2008, will be a glorious day for the LGBTQ community, however, I wonder if an agreement was reached quickly on this issue out of compassion, or is it a ploy for same-sex marriages to boost California's deflating economy?
Once the economy is doing better, will the rights of the LGBTQ community be revoked again?

Recently, businesses have calculated how much revenue could be made should same-sex couples decide to have weddings. Interesting how Gay and lesbians are human beings fighting for a civil right, while the state thinks only about financial relief for a few months. Come November, all gay marriages could easily be overturned -- but I'm sure only after a lot of splurging on weddings, honeymoons and homes have first taken place.
My personal opinion?
Don't spend a ridiculous amount of money on your weddings just have a nice small ceremony while we wait for November, to finally find out whether we'll truly gain marriage equality; beat'em at their own game!
