Party is Over, 'Bride' & 'Groom' Back on Marriage Form
My oh my, how things change fast. California's marriage licenses identified each of the couples by either bride and groom before gay marriage was legalized in May when it changed to Party A and Party B. But after many complaints and one couple threatening to sue, the state changed it back--this time with a few changes. "The new form will apply for same-sex and heterosexual marriages, and applicants may also decline to check any box at all," reported The Granite Bay View who quoted Suanne Buggy, a spokeswoman for the California Department of Public Health, saying "You could check bride and groom, bride and bride, groom and groom. And it is completely optional if a couple decides they don’t want to check anything at all.” The new forms will be available in November.

I think same-sex marriage is OK. Same-sex couples are just as committed in their romantic relationships as heterosexual couples, say researchers who have studied the quality of adult relationships and healthy development. I have a friend getting married with the same sex under the help of the site **BiLoves dotcom** (a site for exploring sexuality, coming out,enjoying life, etc. And there are about 150 members per day and they are very active). And they live happily and wonderfully. And if you often are online, you may find what you are looking more easily.

Seriously? That couple threatened to sue over this? High Class Issues, maybe, as they say. When people don't have real problems they seek them out, huh? I fail to see how not being able to check what you want is a problem though, unless you're a control-freak bridezilla, maybe.

Would someone take a look at Ginay's comment history and ban him? He's just spamming articles with links to various sites.
Also, sad that people have enough time on their hands to complain/sue about this when there are much more constructive things they could be doing (like planning the actual wedding).
