QuoteBut the gay community shouldn't be celebrating.
This decision does next to nothing for California gays and lesbians, and causes real harm to people who believe in the "old" definition of marriage.
It's nothing to be proud of.
I call upon my fellow lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender/transsexual people to vote in favor of this November's California Marriage Protection Act, which is the only way to reverse the unfortunate decision.
