I am pleased about NY's common compassion in this matter. And echo Will's disgust at California's shameful inability to yet produce similar results (and to prevent the reverse from occurring).
Nonetheless, I wish that the Federal government would resolve this issue in what I think would be the best manner possible: get American governments out of the marriage business. I think all government "marriages" should be reclassified as "civil unions," whether they are for straight or gay people. Let the religions have "marriage." That way the semantics get rid of more arguments, and there is more separation of religion and state.
But that's just my $0.02....
