California Courts Rock

Now, as my name is The Wife and I blog with The Husband (who I am, in fact, married to) I would like to tell you all about the joys of marriage. It rocks. Seriously. Yes, some people bitch and moan about their spouses, to the tune of several “take my wife please” jokes. But, at the end of the day, coming home to someone you love is great, but there’s a certain security in knowing that if something happened to The Husband, I’d be notified. If he was in the hospital, I could be with him night and day. I have the right to execute his Living Will, if he had one (which he doesn’t. We need to work on that.)

That, my friends, is why it is awesome that California got its head out of its ass and took a step toward joining Masshatachuttes as the second state to allow gay people to enjoy marriage!

“In view of the substance and significance of the fundamental constitutional right to form a family relationship,” Chief Justice Ronald M. George wrote of marriage for the majority, “the California Constitution properly must be interpreted to guarantee this basic civil right to all Californians, whether gay or heterosexual, and to same-sex couples as well as to opposite-sex couples.”
