SAN BERNARDINO -- A month after California began issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples once again, gay couples can get married, get divorced and even get cold feet.
A planned mass "Rainbow Wedding" ceremony at a gay community center in San Bernardino ended Saturday with the officiant being stood up at the altar when no one showed up more than an hour after the ceremony was scheduled to be held.
"It's a statement about equality," said P.J. Seleska, who runs Inland Empire Pride's Center on Waterman Avenue. "We had a big celebration" the night the Supreme Court struck down Proposition 8 and the Defense of Marriage Act "and kicked around ideas."
The center serves an impoverished region of the
city, and includes a food pantry and other services to help its largely poor clientele.
"It's so expensive to get married out there, are you kidding me?" Seleska said.
Marriage licenses alone cost $88 in San Bernardino County.
"Now I understand why people run out to Vegas," Seleska said.
The center also planned to give donated presents to any couples who turned up to get married on Saturday.
Christine Sanborn, the youth adviser for Inland Empire Pride, was standing by to serve as an officiant. She's an ordained minister through the Universal Life Church.
"We had a couple of people who said they and their partners wanted to get married today," she said.
Even though the planned mass wedding didn't happen, the center and Sanborn will be available for weddings in the future.
"We don't know if we'll have all the trappings and garb" that decorated the center's lobby on Saturday, Seleska said, "but we'll spiff the place up."
Hilarious!
BTW, the terrible formatting is the way the article was posted on the papers’ site.
Maybe because they’re all at the nearest AIDS center.
It seems gays have been looking at the laws regarding division of assets in a divorce. That, and alimony.
Even though both laws are still very much alive and on the books. The more you repeat a lie the more people will believe it.
The damage is done.
No need for the enemies of society to continue with their pretenses.
GAY.
We could conclude that the only gay couple in San Bernadino is already married which is the reason there was no mass wedding..... or all the gay couples moved to NY.
Must have been a huge sale at Penny’s!
LOL....
Well, I guess they will remain virgins.
It was Meth ‘n’ Sodomy Nite at the Pink Flamingo.
Nobody showed?
If the happy sepsis couples weren’t involved in this process how do you hold a mass wedding??
Shouldn’t couples be involved in the planning stage somewhere??
Hah! not not that many homos in San berdo! poor souls...
They didn’t want marriage —only the ISSUE. They’re on a non-stop search for SOME taboo to be waived in their faces.
And THAT is because what they’re after is actually EROTICISM, which only comes when you transgress some type of taboo.
But since we have less and less taboos, gays can only feel less and less eroticism.
OF COURSE they didn’t show up to get married.
When we utterly banish ANY moral standards then gays will be utterly bored and will react with more anger, angst and hatred than ever.
The real struggle they have is the one INSIDE of their own hearts.
I totally agree with you.
Just besides all that....
how in the world do you organize a mass wedding (or ANY event) without including... those to be wed?? Did they even bother getting statements from people promising to show up or was this whole thing done on the fly?
Universal Life Church... *snicker*
Frank Zappa San Ber’dino Lyrics
Send “San Ber’dino” Ringtone to your Cell
She lives in Mojave in a Winnebago
His name is Bobby, he looks like a potato
She’s in love with a boy
From the rodeo
Who pulls the rope on the chute
When they let those suckers go
(Yeah-hey! Suckers!)
He got slobberin’ drunk at the Palomino
They give him thirty days in San Ber’dino
Well there’s forty-four men
Stashed away in Tank “C”
An’ there’s only one shower
But it don’t apply to Bobby
You may think they’re
Dumb an’ lonely
But you’re wrong
‘Cause their love is strong
Stacked-up hair
An’ a cheap little ring
They don’t care
‘Cause it don’t mean a thing
Looka there . . .
They don’t care
Best-est way that
They can feel-o
Out on the highway
Rollin’ a wheel-o
He’s her Tootsie
She’s for real-o
Trailer park heaven
It’s a real good deal-o
Real good deal-o
Real good deal-o
Real good deal-o
Real good deal-o
The rest of their lives
In San Ber’dino
Gonna spend the rest of their lives
In San Ber’dino
Gonna spend the rest of their lives
Down in San Ber’dino
Come on with me
Come on with me
Come on with me
Down in San Ber’dino
Just 60 miles, 60 miles
Down the San Ber’dino freeway
They got some dark green air
An’ you can choke all day
That’s right!
Gonna spend the rest of their lives
Rest of their lives
Rest of their lives
Say now,
Ain’t talkin’ ‘bout Fontana
Ain’t talkin’ ‘bout uh uh
Ain’t talkin’ ‘bout uh uh
Ain’t talkin’ ‘bout uh uh
Ain’t talkin’ ‘bout the Redlands, no no
ZULCH is the auto works
I’m tellin’ you
That’s where they take
All the cars that they hurt
Come on and let’s all go down to San Ber’dino
Ooo-ooo
Ooo-ooo
Ooo-ooo
Let’s-a go down down down
Down in San Ber’dino
Wouldja b’lieve it
Wouldja b’lieve it now, come on
San Ber’dino
San Ber’dino
San Ber’dino
(Got to call it)
San Ber’dino
(C’mere)
San Ber’dino
San Ber’dino
San Ber’dino
San Ber’dino
(Oh, God, they all stay there)
The rest of their lives
In San Ber’dino
Oh Bobby, I’m sorry you gotta head like a potato
I really am
(Ketchup!)
I agree with that. Getting to the children is their end game and we must not ever allow it.
