I'm really getting tired of this argument. Don't we have enough to worry about other than if two people who love each other, not letting them get married or not? It's their life and people just need to get over it. This is 2010, for goodness sake.
Sorry, we don't choose who we fall in love with. It just happens!

They all argued that since the judge ruled that

"The administration believes the public interest is best served by permitting the court's judgment to go into effect, thereby restoring the right of same-sex couples to marry in California," lawyers for Schwarzenegger said in the legal filing. "Doing so is consistent with California's long history of treating all people and their relationships with equal dignity and respect."
