I came of age in the 60s, where “living together” was more than just acceptable. Times have changed, of course, but my attitudes haven’t necessarily changed. However, when it came right down to it, I chose to get married. Mostly because of the tax and other benefits that accrue to married couples, rather than cohabitating ones.

Nevertheless, I find it hard to imagine how marriage is acceptable for heterosexual couples (even when they don’t plan to have children) but not for homosexual couples. The laws in this regard totally offend my basic sense of fairness.

This is a happy day for anyone who yearns for equality for all Americans. . .as goes California, so goes the nation (eventually).
