“During San Francisco’s Winter of Love, I was proud to serve as a San Francisco Supervisor when San Francisco extended marriage rights to our City’s same-sex families.  There was such incredible joy for these couples, to ensure that they were able to enjoy all the rights and responsibilities we expect in a modern society.

Justice was delayed, but today the California Supreme Court decided it would not be denied.  More than 100,000 California families will be able to enjoy all the rights and responsibilities of marriage, if they choose. We must work as hard as we can to protect their rights against future attacks.

I expect local county clerks in California to act without delay to make marriage equality available to their residents.”
