03/03/2004: "SF City Hall booked for marriages until May"

The city of San Francisco decided a couple weeks ago or so that they would no longer allow walk up marriages. They changed to a scheduling system that requires that you make an appointment. Well, I just found out that they're booked through the end of April.

Not only is it disappointing from a gay marriage perspective, I'm also thinking of all the people who would normally get a valid (a.k.a. heterosexual) marriage at city hall. They're going to have to go elsewhere. Maybe we can try to communicate to them the importance of a sacramental marriage.
