Homosexual Rush to 'Marry' in San Francisco is a Political Ploy Warn Canadians
SAN FRANCISCO, February 16, 2004 (LifeSiteNews.com) - San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom opened the city's doors to homosexuals on Thursday, issuing an order that officials grant marriage licences to same-sex couples there. Thus far, a reputed 1700 couples have received the licence. Pro-family advocates are set to appear in court Tuesday to seek a restraining order to stop the weddings.
Newsom has not set any restrictions on the decree - partners have been lining up from around the country, including Curtis McAdams, of Austin, Texas, and David Miller, 34, who said they plan to file a lawsuit in Texas to be recognized as legally married there.
Recalling that the homosexual 'marriage' strategy in the United States has closely followed the pattern established in Canada, pro-family advocates in Canada were not surprised to see the mad rush of homosexual activists to the proverbial altar. In Canada homosexual activists freely admitted that they were getting 'married' in order to subvert efforts at a reversal of court decisions in their favour. "If scores of us get married, how do they put the horse back in the barn?" lesbian activist Alison Kemper told the Toronto Star after a spate of homosexual 'marriages' in Toronto.
In related news, approximately 200 homosexual-marriage activists picketed outside Francis Cardinal George's Chicago home on Saturday. The group chose the Cardinal's residence because he was a leading opponent of a "homosexual-rights" bill that was narrowly defeated in the legislature there last fall.
