So California Supreme Court ruled that it was legal for couples of the same-sex to get married! I thought this was a great decision because I personally think that there is nothing wrong that gay people can get marry. I think that it is unfair for them if they can't be marry simply because they are gay. I think people are born gay, therefore it would be unconstitutional if they can't get marry just because they are not heterosexual, that would just be like the old days when interracial couples couldn't get married. According to my article, the decision was based on the fact that California legalized interracial marriage 20 years ago. To me, people who think that gay people want to get marry for the benefits are just making up excuses; because I think they actually really want to be together for the rest of their lives and to be recognized by law. I also think that the conservatives who are asking for an amendment to ban same-sex marriage in the constitution are being very mean. I hope that the amendment wont be added, and I do hope that Virginia will actually take that amendment out of our state constitution. I was talking to a friend about this issue and she made a great point that, why it is alright for people to be in abusive heterosexual relationship, but it is not alright for homosexuals to be in a caring and loving relationship?!?!?!
Personal: So I'm interning right now and I'm so glad that it is almost over! I just for free Ben&Jerry's Ice-cream which is yummy. But being at Capitol Hill when I'm sick is not fun at all...So ONE DAY LEFT OF INTERNING!!! ♥

Good Job!
This was a great decision by the California Supreme Court. People have been waiting too long to get a basic right that every straight person has taken for granted. If you love someone it is your personal right to make an alliance with them for the rest of your life. I think that this is a mile stone and that hopefully other states will follow suit. Many other states with the Defensive Marriage Act are cruel and are going against the Constitution when they do not allow homosexuals the title of marriage that they attained in other states. This is going against the Full Faith and Credit clause of the Constitution. It is my hope that this issue will be addressed and that all states will soon accept same sex marriages!
P.S. I was really happy for Ellen when I heard on the news that she got married to her partner. I love her show and love to dance with her on the TV!!!!!!!!!!!!
