OMG! We’re all moving to Cali!!

 
 
Victory! Marriage in California
 

Dear Friend of NCLR,

 

This morning the California State Supreme Court issued its decision in our marriage cases and the majority held that laws excluding gay and lesbian couples from the right to marry were unconstitutional. In short, we won!

 

 

 

This is a landmark and historic day.

We are grateful that the Court upheld the most precious and cherished values of fairness, opportunity, and most basically, the fundamental right to marry the person you love. What an enormous privilege to be a witness to this powerful and poignant moment in our movement.

It is an honor to be the Executive Director of the organization that played such a key role in making this day possible. My deepest gratitude to you. We would not be here—seeing and making history—without your support.

You will hear more from us in the next few hours and in the coming days as we have a chance to digest the ruling and give it a fuller analysis. Keep checking NCLR’s website to get the latest information, including the official press release and a copy of the Court’s ruling.

But for now—know this, this is a new and brighter day for each of us and all those we love. Yea!

Thank you!

Forever indebted,

P.S. Now it is time to celebrate. For those in the state of California, please join us tonight at the statewide gathering nearest you to be with those who love and support you and who made this victory possible. I will be at the gathering at the San Francisco LGBT Center with my beloved and our children. I hope to get a hug from you tonight. God knows we all deserve it.

Sooo, any chance I will be driving you and Christy to the License office in my veggie dream mobile? Congrats and I just donated to keep the effort strong.

Sometimes I’m proud to live in Los Angeles.

Way to go California!

absolutely incredible. looking forward to the day when we can all enjoy similar rights in the states we happen to or choose to live in!

That’s what I was thinking! We should all migrate there. It is very tempting!!

That’s it, I am moving!
