As of Friday, nearly 620 couples had booked appointments to obtain licenses at San Francisco City Hall over the next 10 days.

Unlike Massachusetts, which legalized gay marriage in 2004, California has no residency requirement for marriage licenses, and that is expected to draw a great number of out-of-state couples. The turnout could also be boosted by New York state's recent announcement that it will recognize gay marriages performed in other jurisdictions.

From this story.

And I don't know if it is just the luck of the draw for me, but it seems like a lot of the stories I have been reading on this topic the last couple of days have been focused more on lesbian marriages. Just an odd phenomenon, but something I noticed.

Not by chance at all. Everyone loves lesbians. They have always been, and will continue to be, the "face" of gay marriage because mainstream breeders find lesbianism less offensive, and women less deserving of a punch to the face in general.

Plus, lesbians aren't known for putting things in their butts unnecessarily (though I'm sure plenty still do).

Define "unnecessarily".

To those attending tonight's LHC meeting, I'm going to be a no show tonight. I'm not so sick that I need to miss a full day of work but I'm not so well that I feel like doing much else besides going home directly after. Headache and dizzy spells that have been bothering me for a few days now. Seeing a doc on Thursday morning. Will look forward to a report tomorrow, from those who do attend. And I will do my best to make it to the next one. Apologies!

Well, using the "property value" view of marriage (you can't paint your house, across the street from mine, pink because that would diminish the value of my property) I believe my marriage is now worth approximately $0.17 cents less than yesterday. However, this reduction is purely from diminished scarcity. You might argue that my marriage is just as unique as it was yesterday. But this is not true as I suspect the number of married men with painted toenails will now see a surge.

However, my first marriage has been retroactively augmented by $0.03 - a 45% increase in value.

If someone can provide me with a billing address for the Homosexual Agenda I'll see if I can get this $0.14 reimbursed before I am forced to cast my vote on the amendment this fall.

You going to ask for installments, or lump sum?

On a related note, Norway just legalized gay marriage.

Norway's upper house of parliament voted 23-17 in favor of the gender-neutral marriage law on the same day that gay couples were marrying in California.
The law replaces 1993 legislation that gave gays the right to enter civil unions similar to marriage but did not allow church weddings or adoption. It takes effect Jan. 1.
