Breaking news out of California today. The state's Supreme Court just issued a ruling to a legal case dating back to 2004 regarding the rights of same-sex couples to marry. In its 4-3 ruling, the court found that the state's ban on same-sex marriage violates the "fundamental constitutional right to form a family relationship," according to the San Francisco Chronicle. The ruling will take effect in 30 days, and courthouses are anticipating a flood of marriage applications from same-sex couples.
