The city of San Francisco has been licensing same sex marriages since Thursday against the state's laws.

" Newly elected Mayor Gavin Newsom touched off the wedding spree by ordering officials to issue licenses to same-sex couples, declaring that he was merely ensuring equal treatment of gays and lesbians. Newsom later officiated personally at the weddings of his chief of staff and policy director, both of whom married their longtime partners."

This is getting good! There's more drama on the nightly news than on the soaps these days. Good old election years! :twisted:
