A U.S. appeals court ruled that California’s gay marriage ban violates the constitution on Tuesday in a case that is likely to lead to a showdown on the issue in the Supreme Court.
DEVELOPING: California gay marriage ban unconstitutional, ruling says.
This is awesome. Even if you don’t want to enter into a legally sanctioned partnership with the one you love, this is an important part of telling Americans that gay rights are not special rights, they are equal rights.
Special high-five to my husband for texting me the decision while I was in a meeting with a client.
And as a reminder, gay marriages or any other marriage for that matter does not and will never “ruin the sanctity of” or “destroy” or affect (negatively) in any single way my own marriage or anyone else’s. That argument is patently absurd. You picking up what I’m putting down, fear-mongering “value voter” “Christians”?

TODAY
… After over 100 drives organized by friends, family, and strangers, celebrity call-outs, a bazillion reblogs (7000+!), tweets, and Facebook posts, press, fundraising and international drives organized by tireless friends, and a couple painful false starts, I’ve got a 10/10 matched donor!
You all literally helped save my life. (And the lives of many others.)
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT
[……….]
THE GREAT NEWS
I’ve got a long road ahead. But I’ve got a donor & amazing family & friends. A few months ago I didn’t have many options. Today I have a plan.
I am alive. I start tomorrow. Wish me luck!
Thank you.

I have tears in my eyes. Deliriously happy for Amit, now go kick cancer’s ass.
I pared down Amit’s post for simplicity sake and so that you would go visit his page on your own. Read the whole thing here.
If you haven’t yet and you are able to, I would like to suggest signing up to be a bone marrow donor. It’s super simple, easy and quick and the best part is, you could end up saving someone’s life. I think that is a pretty amazing thing. Sign up here.](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ly0hgdPYpF1qz72dio1_1280.jpg)
