It's not *your* fault that *he* made a good decision, even if it wasn't wholly legal.
Well, they applied for the licenses knowing that the odds against it being validated were high high high. They took a gamble. It sucks, and I have yet to meet an opponent of gay marriage who's been able to give me a cogent argument against it. But I remember watching the news as people proclaimed the SF marriages a big step for gay rights and thinking that there was no way that these marriages would be upheld. It's not the State of San Francisco, and the mayor doesn't have the power to make changes like that.
This is part of the reason why I don't want to get married, even if I do find someone to share the rest of my life with. Until it's legalyl recognized across the country, I'm not doing it. (Says the single gal. This may all change once I meet Ms. Right, of course.)
