[My favorite quote so far in the Chronicle's roundup coverage today of the people behind California's marriage-equality victory is Jewelle Gomez on what fighting for this meant to people who weren't sure if they themselves wanted to marry or even if they approved of marriage:]

["I say look back at the civil rights movement - people did not risk their lives at Woolworth's because the food was good."]
