Go ‘head on wit yo bad self, San Francisco.
I’m happy to see San Francisco making a statement and issuing marriage licenses to gay couples, whatever the fallout may be. Never would have guessed they’d take it another step and sue the State of California over the matter. I like this quote:
“They are in a defensive posture, and frankly I think it’s an admission that they didn’t do things in the right way in the first place,” said Richard D. Ackerman, a lawyer for one of the groups, Campaign for California Families.
Missed the point there, don’t ya think? All those people, all those happy gay couples and that happy mayor, don’t give two shits that it technically might not be legal. They’re making a statement. Besides, who knows, at the end of the day maybe they will be legal. Methinks this lawsuit was in the works already anyway, before the Seventh Sign those licenses were issued.

Have you seen the movement to send bouquets of flowers to the couples in line, waiting to get married?
I have a few links on my sidebar. What a great idea!
This way, those of us who aren’t nearby can give some emotional and political support to those that are.

I think SF was just getting jealous that Mass. was getting so much attention.
