because the city created its own form to remove such terms as "bride" and "groom," For men they replaced it with "pitcher" and "catcher."
For lesbians they put "takes out the trash" and "submissive."

Get the attention of the media. (or not?) Leftists were always good at this game. Just the picture of an old queen and a 16 year old boy holding up a marriage license would make the headlines -- guaranteed.

Illegal is illegal,That depends on what the meaning of 'illegal' is...
If illegal is illegal, then it's legal...

**So they found a technicality. Apparently the violation of the law regarding California's legal definition of marriage wasn't enough. **

Interesting idea. I prefer to think of them as merely breaking the obvious law in this case. The rest makes my head hurt, I'm afraid.

Ya, right. This is the same state that wants driver licenses issued to illegal aliens. The squashed SB 60 after Arnie was put in place and now the next generation SB 1160. I'm embarrassed to say I'm a native Californian.

"There is a statewide form that every county has to use for marriage applications. If we receive application forms that are different from the single form used throughout the state, we will not accept them," said Nicole Kasabian Evans, a spokeswoman for the Health and Human Services Agency. LOL, not only the form is wrong but also the sex.

Oops--can't have a wedding without a bride and groom, can't have a marriage without a husband and wife. Who would have thought?
To: mhking
Well, at least this bureaucrat is on the right side of the matter, refusing to accept the licenses as valid. Much better than the judge who refused to accept a suit against the gay marriage licenses because he objected to a semicolon.

You can't accept them anyway if they don't have a man and a woman listed on them.

There was no way they could use the designated form in this situation. This is hilarious.

It would take a lot of chuzpah, but conservatives should take two 12-year-old and fifteen-year-old sisters and insist on being 'married'. An old man of 70 and a young boy of 16 and insist on being 'married'.... Some guy should take a goat in a tutu...

It would be interesting to show up there as two brothers or two sisters and demand to be married. I'm betting the law, while prohibiting brother and sister marriages, doesn't address the formerly unthinkable possibility of same-sex sibilings.
To: GeronL
Sounds like someone should go to jail for FRAUD!! =o) I doubt a jury in San Franciso would convict.

At something like $104 a pop for those "licenses," San Francisco made a tidy bundle from the 2300 or so "marriages." I think the Mayor ought to be fined ten times as much for each violation.

Wasnt there a thread a few days ago, the crux was that there was a semi-colon in the wrong place in some text. Onthat technicality, the judge was trying to say this whole uni-gender marriage thing was acceptable. Touche...
