The good news is that I can, at least at the state level, and I'm on the proper side of the country to do it. ^_^ Massachusetts isn't so far.
What people often forget is that California actually isn't as blue as people think. You have millions upon millions of screaming liberals, Mexicans, and Hollywood starlets... but you also have millions upon millions of business owners, computer industry tycoons, and Central Valley farmer hicks. California may have the most liberal groups as part of its population, but there are a LOT of people in CA.
Actually, to carry over an example, California may be very DEMOCRAT as a whole, but not as (socially) LIBERAL as people think. Blue does not = Liberal which does not = Democrat. The example of Mexicans: millions of (legal) immigrants are obviously going to vote for Obama for better recognition by the federal government, and just as obviously are not going to support gay marriage because they're usually very Catholic and socially conservative. They may want a politically and economically permissive government, but I'd bet money that most Latin American immigrants, when push comes to shove, they aren't going to support gay marriage.
Anyway, there are other reasons why I wouldn't want to get married in this country, or in California. I just kind of want to move to Europe and have that be the end of it. ^_^
