Read the full decision here, and we’ll offer a bit more witty analysis if the mood strikes. Mostly, we’d just like to go lie down.
UPDATE: County courthouses around the state are set to receive a flood of marriage applications, which will only be able to be processed in 30 days when the court’s decision takes effect. San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom is set to give a press conference at noon today.
ANOTHER UPDATE: The NYT just posted this awful picture.
AND ANOTHER: The LA Times‘ choice of image is little better, featuring some nice older lesbians while SFGate chooses this jolly looking straight couple with a big old rainbow flag, and posts this slightly cloying video. Also, the Governator “respects” the court’s ruling, and GavGav delivers the line he’s been saving for months now: “It’s about human dignity. It’s about civil rights. It’s about time.”
