California and Massachusetts are Totally Getting Gay Married

Earlier today, the California Supreme Court struck down California’s ban on same-sex marriage, a ban that had existed since a voter referendum in 2000.

Why does this matter, especially for non-homosexuals who live in non-California? As San Francisco mayor Gavin Newsom pointed out, “It’s a throwaway line, but I think it’s true: As California goes, so goes the nation.”

As California goes, so goes the nation.

Question #1: Yes, absolutely

Question #2: All presidential candidates will scramble for the right words in order to somehow convince pro-gay-marriage people that they support gay marriage and convince anti-gay-marriage people that they oppose gay marriage. And no one will actually know where they stand. Except McCain who probably had a heart-attack when he heard the news.

Bonus question: A.

Did I win?
