I agree. Money and "enacting promises made" are strong points on Newsome's side. Think about it...he gets elected by promising to make gays "equal in the law" of the city. He waits for the right moment...bang! Let 'em in! Now think about each license fee (swagg here)...$60 each(?) times 3700 issued equals $222,000 for the city. When the courts finally nullify all the marriages, do you think the city is going to refund the money? Not bloody likely!

Then there's all the tax money coming in from Hotels, restaurants, shops etc. Many of these people came from other states or cities. They celebrated in the city afterwards. And all this was timed perfectly between the 3 day holiday and the Mardi Gras. I believe that Mardi Gras is one of the biggest vacation times for gays. They normally would go to New Orleans. But Newsome diverted them to SF this time. I really believe that. I wonder if there was a noticeable impact in New Orleans during Mardi Gras due to this. Yes, i am serious.
