Dennis Herrera blasted the oddly-titled Campaign for California Families today for their latest, useless court of appeal tactic to get the gays to stop all of this damn marriage nonsense. The CCF, it seems, filed with the California Court of Appeal another benign motion to stay the California Supreme Court's May 15 decision to let the queers wed. City Attorney Dennis Herrera had this to say: "I am not aware of a process in......

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......

The 10 attorneys general who has asked the California Supreme Court for a delay in their decision to let the gay marry until after November has been denied. CBS 5 announces that "the California Supreme Court has denied a request to stay its decision legalizing gay marriage." It was shot down in a 4-3 vote. Now, couples of the same sex can get married n June 17, after the order becomes finalized on June......

Hold on there, June brides. The Secretary of State announced yesterday that an initiative to re-ban same-sex marriage in California has qualified for the November ballot. Uh oh. The California Marriage Protection Act needed 694,354 petition signatures to get on the ballot. It 1,120,801 signatures in April. The measure, it seems, would like to protect the sacred institution of marriage. The ban on same-sex marriage, if you recall, was overturned by the California Supreme......

it seems like every other hour there's a new same-sex marriage angle on the local news. Today, we have two big homosexual wedded bliss items that Gay Town is eating up. (Oh wait, our mistake -- THIS is Gay town.) First, a fresh new poll now finds that a small majority of Californians now believe same-sex couples should be able to marry....

It seems every queer we've ever come across in our lifetime has clogged your Editor's inbox this weekend with the following urgent request to call Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. It seems we need to vocalize our support (again) for same-sex marriage. Why? Because the National Back of the Bus Organization have been calling the Gov in droves to voice their hysterical Elizabeth Hasselbeckness over the ruling. And we need you to tell him otherwise (and......

While his Holiness is more or less meh when it comes to non-consensual sex between a man and a boy, same-sex marriage just ain't cool in his book. So stop, says Pope Benedict. While not directly referencing yesterday's California Supreme Court ruling on gay marriage, the Pope spoke to family values groups in Europe (white trash chic!) yesterday, saying: The union of love, based on matrimony between a man and a woman, which makes......

Clinton and the gays, two things that gets Gavin's tongue wagging. Man, even in not the most flattering shots, he still looks... flattering. Or at the very least, endearing. Really, the man just doesn't take a bad picture. Photos by Jim Herd. (Now all he needs to get is one on the right and one darting , and his collection is complete!)......

Heads have been exploding throughout California ever since this morning's delightful news about same-sex marriage was announced. City Attorney Dennis Herrera, in particular, is beaming--at least according to a press released sent out an hour after the ruling was announced. "I am profoundly grateful, not only for a decision that will end marriage discrimination for gay and lesbian partners in California, but for the Court's eloquence in stating its conclusion," said Herrera. "Our democratic......

According to ABC 7--who just mercifully brought The View to a screeching halt to inform viewers--the California State Supreme Court struck down the gay marriage ban. So: same-sex marriage is now legal, at least according to the California Supreme Court. ...

After three years, she's kicking him out of the guest room for good. We thought you should hear it from us first. That is all.......

(Sing it, Tammy. Just...sing it.) Marsha Garces Williams and Oscar-winning actor and ADHD comedian Robin Williams have filed for divorce. Sigh. The local celebrity couple were tied together for over long 19 years. But according to Leah Garchik, trouble between the two has been prevalent for some time. Garces was not at Williams' side when he was honored by the San Francisco International Film Festival last spring, and amid reports of many sightings in......

Here she comes, Kimberly II. According to the Gate, "SF Mayor Newsom engaged to be married." Ta da. It seems that our former hard-partying stallion of a mayor "spoke with his girlfriend's father first and then proposed marriage." Oh, please. Sure. And will little singing mice also be making her wedding dress? Anyway, Gavin and Jennifer, congratulations and best wishes, respectively. Let's hope this one sticks. (Sorry, Beth.)......

While cruising over at ValleyWag -- their editors are kinda cute, yes? -- we came across an iPhone ad parody that is, in fact, an actual marriage proposal created by one "Claude M" for "Doris," his honeybunney. How entirely sterile and unromantic. We love it. Although if anyone ever offers us exceptionally large diamond ring (sigh), we hope it's done via a Jack In The Box or L'Oreal-Penelope Cruz commercial parody. We love those......
