Can homosexuals marry each other legally outside of CA? No. But a homosexual man can marry a woman, just as a heterosexual man can. A lesbian can marry a man, just as a heterosexual woman can. The law treats them the same. "The same treatment" doesn't automatically equal "fair treatment", and this this case certainly doesn't equal the treatment that many homosexuals want and feel they deserve, but it is the same. Its not "seperate but equal", its exactly the same. I can see an argument for allowing same sex marriage as a matter of fairness. I've been moving towards supporting it or at least civil unions of some sort for that reason, but it isn't a matter of constitutional obligation (at least not under the US constitution I haven't looked in to CA's), or of freedom.
