Desde San Fran...

... fotos de la historia. Más de dos mil parejas se han casado en el Ayuntamiento de la ciudad en tan solo unos días que el alcalde lo permitió. Un acto de desobediencia civil en la mejor tradición americana.

Andrew Sullivan opina:

"Yes, I know this is breaking the law. But Rosa Parks broke the law as well. Civil disobedience has always played a role in civil rights movements. If the religious right want to stop this, they should move to arrest the mayor of San Francisco or impeach him; or they should move to arrest the newly married couples. Then we'd really have a media spectacle. I think the real reason for the outrage is that these couples have finally shown what this is about: couples trying to solidify their love for one another. It is preposterous to believe that this can harm anyone. Once these marriages exist for real in Massachusetts, the public in that state will realize how cruel, wrong and baseless it is to attack couples for doing something constructive, real and social. And then the nation will."
