The California State Supreme Court just overturned the ban on gay marriages.

I'm really happy for all my gay friends, but personal bottom line? This is going to cost me a fortune in wedding presents.

I haven't been invited to a wedding yet! But I would love to contribute to the fund to defeat the constitutional amendment in CA. Can you post the name or website where we can donate?

Heterosexual, married, in support of LOVE and RESPECT FOR ALL!!!
Congratulations!

Hello... Even though most gays can't get married we still buy wedding presents and shower gifts for straight friends and family. No whining!

Hey Patt - you may save some dough and do some good at the same time - Many of us couples, who have been married (privately) and married (In SF, annulled) and will get married again to get the legal benefits, are asking that rather than gifts our friends contribute to funds to defeat the constitutional amendment in California. My partner and I are considering a "reception/fundraiser" for our third marriage in 17 years. We are very happy about the good news, and were out celebrating with the community last night in WeHo.

So for one good donation, you can save yourself the toaster shopping and just get nice cards saying, "I did my best to support your marriage!"

Cheers!
