Saw this on the newswire:

"Several states have since [2004] passed constitutional amendments banning gay marriage. Today, 27 states have such amendments."
"After a month of jubilant same-sex weddings [in San Francisco], the California Supreme Court intervened and ordered the city to stop issuing licenses to gay couples. The court later invalidated the documents and declined to address the constitutionality of a state ban on same-sex marriage until lower courts acted first.
Today’s ruling by the Republican-dominated court affects more than 100,000 same-sex couples in the state, about a quarter of whom have children, according to U.S. census figures. It came after high courts in New York, Washington and New Jersey refused to extend marriage rights to gay couples. Before today, only Massachusetts' top court has ruled in favor of permitting gays to wed."
[News] California Supreme Court Allows Gay Marriage
Dr. Tiff you are so mean! (And you sound like Jack McCoy.)
A lot of people assume that California is uniformly progressive, left-wing, a Democrat stronghold ... Not true. California is a lot more conservative than the image projected by libral Hollywood. In fact, Hollywood has a huge number of Republicans/conservatives, although they don't publicize that affiliation.

New York Begins to Alter Policy on Gay Marriage
Gov. David A. Paterson has directed all state agencies to
begin to revise their policies and regulations to recognize
same-sex marriages performed in other jurisdictions, like
Massachusetts, California and Canada. In a directive the
governor's legal counsel, David Nocenti, instructed the
agencies that gay couples married elsewhere "should be
afforded the same recognition as any other legally performed
union."
