BUT - I also believe that all of us, and yes, the word "us" includes ALL of us, have the right to live our lives the way we choose without other peoples judgement.

It blows my mind. But I challenge all those who oppose Gay Marriage to turn away the business when gay couples give California an economic mini-boom as the weddings commence. If you are going to be a bigot, turn away the business - I double dog dare you. I bet gay marriage isn't as objectionable when they are using your services. We'll see what happens![/quote] As wrong as it would be, I think it would be interesting to see what would happen to a business if they DID turn away gay couples... Jennifer Carole said:

While today has been very empowering for people, especially those writing on this subject as someone who takes this subject so personal, it's hard not to feel emotionally overwhelmed. To add to that, California's Supreme Court ruling completely changed the course of emotions today. From tears of sadness to tears of joy![/quote] I agree! I was definitely overwhelmed, and still sort of am! I hope that other states will follow. Katy Castro said:
