GRATEFUL COUPLES GATHER AT S.F.'S "CHAPEL OF LOVE": From the San Francisco Chronicle
The day after the California Supreme Court voided nearly 4,000 same- sex marriages in San Francisco, a brigade of gay couples singing "Chapel of Love" and other love-themed songs filed through San Francisco City Hall on Friday to express their gratitude and intention to continue fighting for equal marriage rights.
The dozen or so couples -- some in wedding dresses and tuxedos that have become protest outfits de rigueur -- dropped off flowers and official- looking "engagement'' certificates in the clerk's office, where 30 heterosexual couples were listed on the daily marriage schedule. Then they delivered two bouquets of yellow flowers to city Assessor Mabel Teng and sang "For He's a Jolly Good Fellow" as they marched through the chambers of Mayor Gavin Newsom, who ignored state law Feb. 12 and ordered the city clerk to issue licenses to gay and lesbian couples.
