May
17, 2004 - A Cause For Celebration: Marriage Rights for All
The human heart cannot
be denied. Will never be silenced. Will beat louder and louder
until it deafens the ears of those who refuse to listen to the
truth.
-- Margaret Cho (from
5/17/04 blog
entry)
On the day that
Massachusetts became the first state to allow
same-sex couples to marry, San Francisco joined in the celebration
by marching to the steps of City Hall. The same City
Hall where, in defiance of California state law, San Francisco
married thousands of same sex couples before being shut down by
a court injunction.
Speakers at
the event included the Sisters
of Perpetual Indulgence, LeiLani
Dowell, and, the honorary Diva of the event, Margaret
Cho.
