I really hope my state's supremes follow suit soon.

I think that while gay marriage is not traditional, at this point it is logical. The arguments that marriage is about procreation just don't fit in modern society anymore. And, interestingly enough, my state's Republican governor recently declined to sign legislation that would have statutorily legitimated gay marriage, stating his belief that the definition of marriage is the court's arena. So, in California at least, the buck has officially been passed, and not by the Democrats.
