There's Just No Way of Getting Around Gay Marriage Posts Today
Same-sex wedding sympathizers SF Weekly points out this ad many of you have seen around town as of late. They also point out that gay marriage in San Francisco = cash, serious coinage, and treasure chests full of diamonds, pearls, and rubies for each and every citizen!
We couldn't be happier. Money is power, folks. And SF is about to feel loads of it splatter against its backside when scores of queers come here to get hitched starting tonight.
Awesome.
Anyway, back to the above advertisement gracing the walls of BART and Muni stations. Have you seen how much Bella Pictures is charging for their services? Insane. But they will be shooting your (ideally facial hair-free) images for no charge tomorrow 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. So... there you have it.

There's already a cumberbund shortage, these poor guys had to take the last ones left in the shop (royal blue?)
Everyone is coming to the cool, grey city of love
No money for you, Bakersfield.
See how being stupid can cost you?
Tsk-tsk.
I'm stockpiling all of the rice to throw at people as they emerge from City Hall. You must buy the rice from me now. Buhahaha!!!
Behold - our people...
This is what we need. Photos of regular, everyday people who happen to be gay, getting married. Coming from a red state, most people I know back there seem to think all gay people run round in rainbow print thongs and dog collars in public, and it freaks them out. Once they see, hey, they really are just like you and me! (um, except during the Folsom street fair), I think it'll go a long way to breaking down people's prejudices.
The more ads like this the better. And SF should start hyping this in their tourism marketing.
Sorry, Rob, didn't you know we toss birdseed now? Something about the rice killing pigeons that ate it (and what a way to keep last week's pigeon thread alive...)
Birdseed??? Doesn't that attract the homeless too?
Hold up ... you mean I can kill pigeons, uphold civil rights and celebrate someone's marriage all at the same time?
Rice truly is the wonder grain.
Talk about killing three birds with one stone.
Every time I read something like this I keep thinking of that Simpsons episode where Mayor Quimby says "All those in favor of legalizing Gay Money ,say Ay!"
Stuart and John!!!
I hate to drag this off topic even further, but rice doesn't kill birds. Both Snopes and The Straight Dope, arbiters of truth for the Internet that they both are, have come out against it. As well the only real evidence in favor of it is usually anecdotal with no confirmed cases to support it. Feel free to throw your rice.
While it's nice that money is coming into the city I'm afraid that absolutely none of it will affect me in any way (unless the new trend is for couples to start donating large amounts of money to research... but I doubt it).
Dear Abby, the source where this rumor about rice first started many, many years ago, has also refuted it, and apologized for printing an unverified rumor.
