Op-Ed: California Legalizes Gay Marriage

It is about freaking time. California has legalized gay marriage, and while it might not last, it is a good sign that the times they are a changin'!

Simply stated, California has given the big OK to the legalization of gay marriage. It could be less than a month before same sex couples are tying the knot, something that probably should have happened a long time ago. It has been estimated that the state of California has over 90,000 same sex couples. This does not mean the institution of marriage is going down the toilet. The institution of marriage could care less if two men or two women find love. It does mean that now insurance companies in California will now be required to offer spousal insurance. It does mean that this is the first step in the growth of our country. It is a reality that gay couples exist. To deny them the right to commit to one another, to go so far as to make it illegal is ridiculous. This is a great day for the United States and the state of California, and one that is long overdue.
