http://www.nytimes.com/2010/07/09/us/09marriage.htmlhttp://www.boston.com/news/local/breaking_news/2010/07/judge_declares_3.htmlMy opinion on gay marriage is pretty clear. Fluffy "left" me to marry Poofy before she left Poofy to come back to me. It was an interesting point of my life, a major life-changing event, and basically lead to where I was now. But, those marriages really were marriages. They were handfasting, bonding ceremonies, or what have you. They were, like Poofy's 4 months, not really marriage. Instead, they were fake marriages because the concept was there, they just didn't have the legal force behind them.
So, in the above articles, it talks about a judge saying a ban against gay marriages is illegal. Naturally, this isn't the end of it. It won't be one until people keep hammering it and defending it, keeping it in the culture's eye until it becomes acceptable. We already have a mainstream acceptance of gays (at least in television, it isn't unusually to have a gay character in a show but it isn't common place, not unlike when it cease to be unusually to have a black person on a show).
