The Sapphic set will be the first to get legally married (and, believe us, the first to get legal divorce after divorce after divorce) in San Francisco. Longtime queer activists Del Martin (87) and Phyllis Lyon (84), who were first wed in San Francisco in 2004, will re-enact their ceremony as soon as gay marriage becomes legal in California at 5 p.m. on June 16.
Gavin Newsom will, once again, officiate their ceremony. But this will be the "only gay wedding held at City Hall on June 16," but you pick up your license to marry over at the clerk's office on June 17.
If you recall, gay marriage in California was recently rendered legal after the State Supreme Court declared the ban on gay marriage to be unconstitutional and, well, insane.
