California can now be added to the list of American States that have OK’d gay marriage, but Cali goes further. Now any “two persons” can be legally wed in the state.
Many people see California’s step as a good direction for the USA because social-politcal trends in the state are usually reflected by the rest of the country soon afterwards. What makes California unique (in America) is that the politicans took the steps needed to legalize gay marraige and not the courts.
