Fantastic! Nice to see civil rights aren’t something that can be voted on.

The dominoes are going to start falling state by state, and I’m glad. Congratulations to all the couples in California!

I wish you all long, prosperous and happy lives, and I’m celebrating here in the South (yep, a blue Southerner if you can believe it) on your behalf.

It’s been a great week in many ways.

I can’t believe this was ever an issue to begin with. It never should have been up for a vote. It is a basic human right to get married. I’ll bet those who voted against it are in miserable heterosexual marriages.

I am a happily married heterosexual mother of three college students and finally proud to be a Californian again!
