California to jump to the future?

I read this post on Towleroad in which they say how the California Supreme Court might be getting ready to rule in our favor on the question of marriage rights, and might even go as far as giving us that right with their ruling:

Sources wishing to remain anonymous in the California Court System indicate that the court, which has until June 2, 2008 to issue it's marriage ruling, is considering issuing it on Friday, May 23, 2008, with the decision being written by Chief Justice Ronald George. The Court is readying itself for a backlash that may follow the rumored and bold decision. There is talk that the Court will not simply strike down Proposition 22, but will move the State of California toward full marriage, if not even granting full marriage rights for gays and lesbians outright.

That would be really good news. Really good news.

California usually leads the country on any cause, so this could be a watershed moment for gay civil rights in America.

Mark your calendars.
