My flist just exploded with the news of the California Supreme Court ruling on gay marriage.

[randomness]

I'd just like to add this from the San Jose Mercury News website:

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger is vowing to uphold the California Supreme Court's ruling striking down a state ban on gay marriage.

The Republican governor issued a brief statement shortly after the court announced its decision Thursday.

The governor said, "I respect the court's decision and as governor, I will uphold its ruling."

He also reiterated his previously stated opposition to an anti-gay marriage initiative proposed for the November ballot. That initiative would write a ban on same-sex unions into California's constitution.

Last month, Schwarzenegger told a gathering of gay Republicans that he would fight the initiative.

It always takes me forever to parse sentences like that. I have to set them up like logic puzzles in my head: + (uphold) - (striking down) - (ban) = yay gay marriage! ...uh, right?
