Rebuffed at San Francisco City Hall on Valentine's Day

These two would-be brides were all dressed up with no place to go as they can't get married the way things are these days. They seemed to be making the best of it though. Larger photo here

Marriage Equality USA held an event at City Hall yesterday to get the word out about "the 1,138 federal marriage rights as well as the hundreds of state rights same sex couples are denied."

Local electeds on hand to address the crowd on the eastern steps included Senator Carole Migden, City Attorney Dennis Herrera, and Assessor-Recorder Phil Ting.

Maybe next year.

Only in San Francisco could an act of protest against the government be welcomed and even cheered on by the officials of that government.

I love this city.
