I will admit, I was rather worried at first.But I guess it's incidents like this that show America still believes in good, and not self-interest.
Oh, and I don't know if it's been confirmed or not, but marijuana is now legal in Colorado, correct?

It looks that way.Last time I checked it was Colorado and Washington state. It actually failed to go in Oregon.
California in the meanwhile has southern California to contend with, they set us back to about 1940 for some unknown reason.

Though I assume it would be only for medicinal use.Yes, you mentioned before about having to wait till the 20th. I always thought states were one lump-sum vote for or against something, I had no idea counties/boroughs were taken into account too.

Sorry,California's supreme court decided that the right to marry is a religious freedom. Some churches showed that you could vote it down (Prop 8) and a slight majority did (the map of counties that did and didn't looks like a map of desirable places to live, btw).
It's still tied up, the Supreme Court of the USA put off hearing it (or deciding not to) until after the election. If they won't hear it: instant equal rights in my state. If they do hear it it will affect the whole country. Nobody who wants equality is sure which way they'd rather see it go.
Ideally it goes for the whole country, the only downside would be that it takes until the middle of next year to finish. 25% of the country this month, the whole pie in June . . . I'm feeling optimistic either way.

Surely the right to marry is more legal than religious nowadays?Or as it's dressed up as, civil partnership.
Having Obama come back for another term has definitely swung things in equal rights' favour, though it is a bit of a gamble if the issue IS heard in Supreme Court. Regardless, I'm sure America will make the right choice, they certainly did in this case.

Right now it's looking like dominos.Except that they're falling up.
Looking back we may wish that we had more time to watch the haters fall and choke on it, but I do want it to be over with.
So much progress in one day though (it's still four states I think, plus the better one in office, plus a lot of other good people in other offices).

Er, but apparently 98% of republicans vote against their own self interestwhich, because they apparently come from the opposite political camp from you, is not a good, principled position, but just extremely creepy. Oysters said this just up there ^. I think you two should debate the matter, for consistency.
