    Yes, touching moment and all, but THAT is not a marriage. That is a farce and a joke.

    This is sick. Homosexuals should never be allowed to get married. Every homosexual must repent and turn to God. You will all burn in HELL and GOD will judge….I cant belive this….Perez Hilton REPENT.

    After the ceremony those two silver foxes are going to rush home and break out the double headed dildo for some marital bliss.

    Disgrace. The voters of California voted to NOT allow this, and b/c of a few judges, the will of the voters was overturned.

    Now, I know you are all going to jump on me saying I'm insensitive. But, forget about the fact that its about gay marriage.. what if it was some other issue that the voters had voiced their opinion on, and then was overturned by a few judges? Would that bother you? Seems a bit like the USSR to me.

    Very dangerous precedent. Since when does the court have more authority than the VOTES OF THE PEOPLE???

    Dont be blinded to the real issue here, just cause you are for gay marriage. Doesn't matter if you are or not.. what matters is the big picture for our country.

    this is absolutely amazing!! I am soooo happy for them. Could you imagine waiting your whole life to finally have others respect your choice of who you want to spend it with? Hopefully the rest of the country will follow :-)

    Thank God these two people who are so in love and have shared mutual respect for each other for all of these years finally have the same rights as anyone else. I am a heterosexual woman who has been married for 10 years and I am ashamed that I was able to get married before these two people. It's nuts. I'm so happy for them. Good for you, Perez, for giving them some exposure!

    How can anyone be threatened by these two old women being happy. If people are really so concerned about the institution of marriage then maybe straight couples should take it more seriously. These people have gone thorough hell to get married, most straight couples seem to do it because they decided not to use condoms…..

    Are you fucking kidding me? "A Beautiful Moment"? WTF you are so fucking full of shit. MARRIAGE IS AND WILL ALWAYS BE BETWEEN A MAN AND A WOMAN. That is exactly what is really wrong with this country. Why the FUCKING HELL do you think there are MEN AND WOMEN? to be able to make the world go on by NATURALLY having children..not by two people of the same sex getting sperm and implanting one…and WHY WHY in the hell in a time when most people AVOID marriage are Gay people wanting to be married so fucking much?

    Gays may be able to go to the courthouse and obtain a piece of paper stating they are legally married, but they will never be married in God's eyes or allowed to get married in a traditional house of God. It is not the same type of marriage most hetros have, and we will never allow them to take this away from us. And no, I am not a religous fanatic, just stating the truth that a ton of other people already realize.

    This is Bull Shit! I wish I could put all the fags and gays including PEREZ in a time machine and send them back to Sodom and Gomorrah right before God sends rain of sulphur and fire and destroys all these pieces of shit that are disgusting and that are diminishing the American peoples reputations! You have no rights to that! Burn! Burn! Burn!

    What a wonderful Day. And to Daisy………………… keep your religion out of my politics! If you believe marriage should only be between a man and woman that is your prerogative. But you have no right to tell others how to believe. There is this little thing called SEPARATION of Church and State. PERIOD. If a certain church does not want to perform the ceremony that is their right. But if they do then more power to them. I come from a family with 7 aunts and uncles all who have been with their spouses since I was a child. One uncle has been in a loving caring relationship for 35 years with his partner and I consider his partner my uncle the same as all the other members of the family who married into it.

    I am so proud to be a resident of California. It is about time; 2K8! I hope many more states will follow suit and allow people to love who they chose. I cannot wait until November to prove the entire world that California WILL not make it constitutional to discriminate. Protectmarriage.com can kiss my ass!

    Why do all the wacko Christians come out to bash the gays? How the hell does that effect your life in any way? Just because they were not able to legally get married didn't stop them from being gay? Crazy bible thumpers WAKE UP!!! It is 2008, bitches!

    You Americans are so ass backwards…..because Heterosexuals have done such a good job with marriage and keeping family units together - isn't your divorce rate like 55% or 65% …think about it.
    And no a Marriage is and never was a religious thing….a contract between two people that is all.
    Thanks A Happy Married HOMO from Canada
