San Francisco weds first gay couple
Thursday, February 12, 2004 Posted: 4:05 PM EST (2105 GMT)

SAN FRANCISCO, California (AP) -- In a bold political and legal challenge to California law, city authorities officiated at the marriage of a lesbian couple Thursday and said they will issue more gay marriage licenses.

The act of civil disobedience was coordinated by Mayor Gavin Newsom and top city officials and was intended to beat a conservative group to the punch.

The group, Campaign for California Families, had planned to go to court on Friday to get an injunction preventing the city from issuing marriage licenses to gay couples.

Longtime lesbian activists Phyllis Lyon, 79, and Del Martin, 83, were hurriedly issued a license and were married just before noon by City Assessor Mabel Teng in a closed-door civil ceremony at City Hall, mayor's spokesman Peter Ragone said. The two have been a couple for 51 years.

Ragone said that beginning at noon, officials would begin issuing marriage licenses to any gay couples applying for one. One lesbian couple had already lined up outside City Hall, one of the women wearing a white wedding dress.

Lyon and Martin said after the brief ceremony that they were going home to rest and did not plan anything to celebrate. The couple seemed proud of what they had done.

"Why shouldn't we" be able to marry? Lyon asked.

Thursday's marriage runs counter to a ballot measure California voters approved in 2000 that defines marriage as a union between a man and a woman.

No state legally sanctions gay marriage, though Massachusetts could become the first this spring. The Massachusetts high court has ruled that gays are entitled under the state constitution to marry.

State lawmakers later passed a domestic partner law that, when it goes into effect in 2005, will offer the most generous protections to gays outside Vermont.

Mayor Newsom was not present for the wedding Thursday. The two official witnesses were Kate Kendell, director of the National Center for Lesbian Rights and former city official Roberta Achtenberg.

The Campaign for California Families did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Well, if the Christians are right, this means God has to destroy the planet with a fireball now.

But at any rate, that story is most pleasing.

"Wow, a bunch of law-breaking people in California (shock!) married a couple of fat-ass old dykes. "

-its very satisfying to see that sentences like the above prove any pretence you ever had of being able to hold a reasoned argument, or posess any kind of intellectual capacity has completely gone down the shitter. Top marks, you bigoted loon.

Vinth. Why bother? These weak, infrequent sputterings make me think you're posting from a hospital ward. If you're past it, if your glory days are over, just gracefully vanish. Shit like this? It's worse than fat Elvis, man. Take an object lesson from Chevy chase. People don't even remember he was ever funny. Is that what you want to be? Chevy Chase?

Seriously? 'Cause I heard he doesn't give a damn about his partner's pleasure, it's all "kiss my ring" and then pow, he just rolls over and falls asleep.
