I heard on Bill Maher's show tonight that mayors in Chicago and somewhere in New Mexico(?) have followed SF's lead and are beginning to allow same sex marriages. Can anyone confirm this? I can't find anything on the news sites about this.
Btw, Maher had a anti-gay marriage spokesperson on that practically got booed and laughed off the show and Sir Ian McKellen (who played Gandolf in the Lord of the Rings) had some positive words for same-sex marriage and gave a great quote of Jefferson's to much applause. (and yes, I know McKellen is gay)
Cheers,
