Though this might be a little off topic, it is still news in the world of politics.  California voters have overturned the State Supreme court ruling allowing gay marriage.  The voters spoke and they decided that they do not want gay marriage in their state.  This comes somewhat unexpected, as California is one of the most liberal states in the union.  After some 18, 000 gay couples were married, gay couples were able to register for a marriage license through today only in order to marry his or her partner, except for in Los Angeles County.  Though gay and lesbian couples across California are shocked, they said they will continue to strive for equal rights, and they will always know in their hearts who their true partners are, whether or not the state grants permission or not.  With a new liberal senate and a new liberal president, things will continue to change.  We shall see.
