Not sure in this instance. One other possibility is that this governor might just be too PC for his own good. In Canada, gay marriage has been legal for a long time, but I still hear gay men and women call their significant other as husband or wife very frequently.
Both over and under-thinking. Over in that I don't call my wife what it says on my marriage license. Under in that the real solution is for the government to get out of marriage entirely. If I want to be legally bound to someone I can be. I don't have to live with them, I don't have to sleep with them, I don't have to love them, and I don't have to throw a party to celebrate it. But I can, of course, if the other consents to it. If the government wants to limit that to one person, ok. But now that I'm legally bound to this person we share things like debts, incomes, insurance, and can make decisions for one another in times of medical emergency. End of story, end of drama.
Assuming that gay marriage becomes legal in CA at some point, this seems like a pretty obvious change to make. Not sure I would view it as the slippery slope that some others have.
Also, doesn't everyone see the gay marriage debate as this generations Civil Rights Movement or Women's Suffrage? 50 years from now people are going to look back at this issue much the same way we currently look back on those two issues now.
