SACRAMENTO Gov. Jerry Brown has signed legislation replacing language in state law that defines marriage as "between a man and a woman."
Senate Bill 1306 takes effect Jan. 1, reflecting the legality of gay marriage after a decade of litigation. Brown announced the signing Monday.
Last year, the US Supreme Court upheld lower court rulings that Prop 8 was unconstitutional. While gay couples have been able to get married since the high court decision, Prop. 8 was still in the state code.

If you have DISH, you can catch Ann Northrop and Andy Humm on FreespeechTV (9415). I'm hetero, but I LOVE to listen to those two discuss Gay News. It's kind of hard to catch, but they replay it three times a week. (It is a weekly program.)
