March or April will be a big month for our family

The California State Supreme Court just set the date to hear oral arguments on marriage equality: March 4 .

The court then has 90 days to make a ruling.

So, by the end of May, we should know whether the court agrees that banning my family's equal protection before the law is unconstitutional or not. My partner and I have a "Domestic Partnership" in this state and live here. Though we are grateful for that, it's not full equality and we are reminded of it often (like when we realize that the 'stimulus' package doesn't apply to _our_ family because we are not "married").

It's a very strange feeling having something so personally, hugely and immediately affecting our family in the hands of a small group of people.

Here's hoping it's a good thing.
