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.

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 16 at 5 p.m.

So... there you have it. For complete coverage of same-sex marriages, go here.

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.

Second, starting June 16, you will all be able to buy lettuce crispers or dust ruffles for your favorite queer couple; the first same-sex wedding will commence then.

But is all the coverage too much? And why every single day? Steven T. Jones points out today ("Getting past gay marriage") that "simply put, homosexuality doesn't freak out young people like it does old people, who may know very few lesbians or gay men," going on to say that California "voters won't be willing to write discrimination into the constitution." Which? True.

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 because you don't want to piss off any brittle, fussy gay mafia members). Check it:

Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger is receiving large numbers of phone calls from the supporters of "Limits on Marriage" (The constitutional amendment banning same sex marriage in California ) about his comment to a group of Log Cabin Republicans that he wouldn't support a constitutional amendment.

We don't want him to go back on his word. He must hear from us too. The aide I spoke to yesterday was so glad I called as most of his calls were from the "other side." Now it is automated and you will not talk to anyone, just push the number for pro Supreme Court decision.

To vote in support of the Supreme Court ' s decision on LGBT marriage:
