I now pronounce you Ms and Ms Smith.

Hello everyone, thanks for taking the time to visit my political blog.

          A couple of days ago, the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals found the California State's Proposition 8 in violation of the 14th Amendment. Last Tuesday, the California court decided to repeal the proposition, which was passed with a 52% of the vote in 2008. On a different note, this past Wednesday, Washington became the 7th state to approve and certify same- sex marriage. Here is a link to an article, that offers more details about Washington's approval. Apparently it is too soon to cheer, since as the article mentions: 'Under state law, if opponents gather 120,000 signatures, the measure will be put to a public referendum before it can be enacted.' Same-sex marriage will be topic of debate during this year, since two states (NC and MN) will take their vote on May and November. 
         I think that every person who is a consenting adult, and would like to get married should have the 'natural right' to do it, not the legal right. I understand that religion can forbid gay marriage because this institution was created to control people, and it is protected by the first amendment. Government, on the other hand, was created as a commonwealth to represent and protect the interest of the people. Gay marriage should be as legal as falling in love. That is the reason why I pick this article and I think everybody should be informed about the topic.
