CNN is reporting that the California ban on same-sex marriage has been struck down. The California Supreme Court today ruled that the ban was unconstitutional. This ruling makes California the second state to allow same-sex couples to marry legally. You can read all about it here at CNN (and also at TIME).

I must say – these are truly exciting times in America! For one thing, we may very well have our first black president in November. Indeed, the all-but finished Democratic primaries have given us a glimpse of a glorious future (perhaps) as both a woman and an African-American have shown promise as future Heads of State and given us hope for a break from the biased and discriminatory traditions that have colored America since its founding – well, at least Barack has run a clean campaign!

It is my sincere hope that America doesn't degenerate into the predictably divisive trends that all, but, insured George W. Bush his second term in 2004; California has shown us the way – let's move forward.
