California Mamas and Mamas (and Papas and Papas) Are Gettting Married!

Posted by Erin White

Dry those tears you're shedding over Jodie and Cydney!  

Hollywood might be losing a golden lesbian couple, but the state of California is gaining a place in the history books with today's State Supreme Court decision to overturn a ban on same-sex marriage.

YEEEEHAAAA! 

Nearly 4 years ago to the day, it was my home state that was ruling on same-sex marriage.  A few months later my partner and I were legally married in our living room.  And a few months after that, my partner's name was typed onto our daughter's birth certificate right below mine.  

I believed it then and I really believe it now: A victory for same-sex marriage is a victory for children.  Everyone's children.   

As one little boy I know said when his Massachusetts moms told him they were going to get married: "Hooray!  Now we all get to go on a cruise!"
