i know, i know, this has nothing to do with architecture (or does it...?), but this is pretty historic, and i think it will interest many of you.

everything has to do with architecture. this is good news for many discriminated california residents.
thanks orhan. i am of the same opinion. it's just that there have been a slew of political threads lately (election season) and i wasn't sure if i should have posted this here or in the forums (and not that this is necessarily a political issue, but it has been politicized).
anyway, i really don't understand people's objections to same-sex marriage. how exactly does that violate the "sanctity" of their own marriage? i'm a "live and let live" kind of guy, so i just don't get it.
next, people will want to marry goats!
Yay, wedding bells for everybody!
I think this is awesome news. I wonder now if all the same-sex couples who got married in San Fran in 2004 will have to get remarried, or if their unions will be validated?
Yippee. The more love in the world, the better.
mdler: goats can't give consent.

I know...this is the argument that many of the right-wingers were making as to why gay marriage should be banned
goats can say naaaaaay
LOL, holz!
mdler, I knew you were kidding, but I also have to put out there the obvious rational answer to your response.
if only goats could consent...will my suffering ever end?
geez this is unrelated to the website's content, there reason I visit this site is to access the architecture related news not news related to specific lifestyles...whats next you'll post the latest celebrity gossip. Lets stick to posting arch related content thats we all come here for and we can decide for ourselves the other news we would like to explore.
awesome! now there can also be gay divorce!
selr, a love of architecture is a "lifestyle choice". Sexual orientation isn't.
its the most efficient way of controlling population explosion on our planet. i'm all for legalizing gay marriages.
but when will I be allowed to marry all the gorgeous men whom I adore?
I knew California was a progressive state
keep in mind, this can still be overturned via a constitutional amendment in the November elections...
I do think this is related to archinect content. The scope of this website has for a long time gone beyond architecture content, but become a forum for architects, interns and architecture students to talk about all issues.
To be a good architect, I believe, is to be a well informed individual, on as many issues as possible.
so, knowing that the good folk of san fran enjoy packing more fudge than simply that of ghirardelli makes everyone a better architect? if you say so.
wow, and you went to a "real" college and gots a real education?
