The California Supreme Court heard proceedings on the gay marriage debate. The state's highest court heard the legal challenge in San Francisco, where the west coast gay marriage battle began 4 years ago. Remember? When Mayor Gavin Newsom issued marriage licenses to gay couples like to Rosie & Kelli. :) It was in 2004 the year gay marriage became the law in Massachusetts.

I remember it well! It is the event that sparked Multnomah County in Oregon to begin issuing same-sex marriage licenses as well! We had a full fledged valid registered Marriage license for a little more than a year... then the voters "nullified" it. Hmm... my scrapbook still thinks it is real! ;-) This week we had the chance to take advantage of Oregon's new Domestic Partnership law. Great stuff! But still only recognized IN Oregon.
