Baby steps

I just found the best image ever in a slideshow on Yahoo! News. The caption reads, "Jenna Smith (L) jumps in the air after receiving her marriage license with partner Jennifer Fanet (R) in front of San Francisco's City Hall, California, February 13, 2004. San Francisco officials married a steady stream of gay and lesbian couples in a 'first-in-the-nation' move that defies state law recently passed by voters calling marriage a union of man and woman.

San Francisco - Friday, February 13, 2004

This article also talks about the great flood of marriage in SF, with a focus on another couple, Del Martin and Phyllis Lyon. Thanks, biddy, for hookin' me up with that article.

The events today make me very happypeaceful and mellow inside, in a way I can't accurately describe to anyone who asks. Thank you, San Francisco, for taking a giant leap for gay and lesbian kind. Because sometimes it's not the baby steps, right Djordje?
