SAN FRANCISCO (May 15) - In a monumental victory for the gay rights movement, the California Supreme Court overturned a voter-approved ban on gay marriage Thursday in a ruling that would allow same-sex couples in the nation's biggest state to tie the knot.

Domestic partnerships are not a good enough substitute for marriage, the justices ruled 4-3 in .

What is not clear yet is if the marriages conducted in SF in 2004 are now valid? I was married to my partner Feb 15. 2004. Some news say our marriage is no longer null and void and some say the marriages conducted back then are now valid.
