              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.
