Yahoo! News - San Francisco may get same-sex marriages
The city of San Francisco may jump ahead of Massachusetts as the first place in the United States for same-sex marriages, under an initiative launched Tuesday by newly elected Mayor Gavin Newsom.

Newsom, a Democrat, asked the San Francisco County Clerk to investigate what steps need to be taken to begin issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples.

"Less than a month ago I took the oath of office here at City Hall and swore to uphold California's Constitution, which clearly outlaws all forms of discrimination," Newsom said in a statement. "Denying basic rights to members of our community will not be tolerated."

Here's another example. Legal battles will continue to be waged all over the country. Will enough people stand up against bigotry? Stay tuned.
