5. I only wish that Federal benefits would flow from it too.
and that all states would have to recognize it as a legally binding marriage, just as they do any heterosexual marriages in CA.

8. Sorry.
I just want it to REALLY be equitable.

But it is a start, and for that I am very happy.

9. I could not agree more.
I wish it could automatically confer the federal benefits and the recognition by other states.

10. If it did, we'd be on a plane
to CA flying across the country to sign on the dotted line (after almost 16 years). :)

10 minutes now. I wish I was in San Fran watching the court house - this is so historic :) Now if only my partner and I were ready for marriage! (Six years together yesterday and still not ready for it LOL)

25. I just watched it "Live" on TV....How absolutely wonderful!!!!
Congratulations to the couple! I wish them many, many years of happiness, which I am sure they would have regardless of the law. At least now they have the same protections and legal rights.

Wooo Hooo! It is a good day!

Now on to the next state!
