If the California Supreme Court decision stands then on June 17, 2008 same-sex marriages licenses will be streaming out all over the state, according to a story in Today’s Local News. This comes as great news for a long-time Carlsbad couple.
Carlsbad residents Linda Sanders and Evelyn Thomas, who will celebrate their 18th year as a couple June 30, plan to get their marriage license in San Marcos on June 17. The couple plan to be among the first to wed under California’s new same-sex marriage ruling. . . . “We’re going to get our license the very first day they’ll let us,” Sanders said. “We figured that we should get it done right away because we know there’s going to be an effort to stop it.”
Eighteen years is long time to wait to make it legal. We guess we’ll see what happens. There are some pretty rich people against it.

Good for them. This was a no-brainer for the Supreme Court. It’s discrimination against a protected class as defined in employment, housing and other CA laws.
12955. It shall be unlawful:
(a) For the owner of any housing accommodation to discriminate
against or harass any person because of the race, color, religion,
sex, sexual orientation, marital status, national origin, ancestry,
familial status, source of income, or disability of that person.
If you want to protect marriage, outlaw divorce. That will, however, somewhat encourage murder.
