Wedding Bells for Same-Sex Couples in California
"To The Point," KCRW 89.9FM Los Angeles
Warren Olney
June 13, 2008

As soon as the California Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage last month, wedding planners, bakers and hotels began booking more business. On Monday, clerks in 58 counties will start issuing licenses, and the state is looking at a rush of applicants from all over the US. Though opponents are asking the courts to stop the process, San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsome promises to start holding ceremonies right away. Brad Sears is Executive Director of UCLA's Williams Institute on Sexual Orientation Law.
