This is so very sad and telling.

If California acts like this, then those of us in way more conservative states are screwed for sure.

Don't believe that your paperwork is worthless. For every case like this there are hundreds/thousands of couples nationwide who have no problems at all.

I am not surprised to see this happen in California. After all, look what happened with Prop 8.

I don't know what is going on out there...complacency by the LGBTQ Community? Apathy? Laziness? Whatever it is, the LGBTQ Community in the US needs to set aside their differences, band together and stand up like they did back in the 70s.

This attitude isn't only in California. We have it here in NC too. But the fact that it seems to be surfacing out west is scary. I cannot speak for any other area but here in NC it seems that the younger LGBTQ generation is ignorant of their history and takes what few rights we have for the moment for granted.

We must educate the generations following us.
