Marriage News.....

The California Supreme Court ruled unanimously against a request by conservative groups to stay the ruling which will allow same sex marriage in the state. Attorneys General of several other states also joined in the request for the stay. They are concerned of the legal ramifications of their own citizens getting married in California, and returning to their home states. So, there's no stopping queer marriage now. It will go into effect on June 17.

The San Francisco Chronicle is reporting that gay marriage is expected to be a financial windfall to the state, as thousands of gay couples from across the country flock to California to get married. The San Francisco Tourism and Convention Bureau is planning an advertising campaign with the theme "Celebrate liberty, justice, and marriage for all. Come to the city where it all began."
