    Exclusive Photos: San Francisco Celebrates Gay Marriage

    Not wanting to miss a historical moment, I went down bright and early to San Francisco's City Hall to check out all the wedding festivities. Today is the first full day of same-sex marriages, following the California Supreme Court ruling that legalized the nuptials. A romantic and emotional atmosphere surrounded the happy newlyweds. While I was there, snapping these photos of the enthusiastic participants, I noticed nothing but support for these unions between same-sex couples. Take a peek at this special day. Do you think we'll see more days like this throughout the country?

    These were great. I got tears in my eyes on a couple of them.
    What I especially love is that most of these couples (most likely) have been together for a really long time and are now able to enjoy the same benefits of marriage that my husband and I do. I have to admit that I was afraid that many "new couples" would rush down to City Hall to get married just to prove a point, but the thought left my head almost as quickly as it entered.

    And I absolutely loved the picture of Lady Liberty kissing Lady Justice!!!

    Even though I think we should abolish marriage entirely, I always cry at weddings! These are too adorable.

    It's so silly that this is even still an issue. Who are the people who are not just a little squeamish about homosexuality but actually devote their precious time and energy to combating it?

    I don't think the government has any place in relationships. It seems really bizarre to me that we register our relationships with the state.

    On a more personal level, I don't have any need for religion in my household, so if I'm not on board with the government or religion sticking their big toes in my relationship, what need is there for marriage?

    Okay I'm officially emotional. I just looked at all the pictures. The ones that got me the most are the happy families and the woman who said I'm straight and married and I support you. Oh and I'm definitely a heterosexual woman...I love my alpha men...but liberty and justice.... That was kind of hot!

    I completely teared up when i was looking through those pictures. I really liked the ones where the couples are looking into each others eyes. Clearly love knows no boundaries.

    I just wish that my homosexual friends in other states could share the same rights.

    there's no residency requirement in CA, so I'm betting a lot of people are planning trips out west this year.

    yes i do think we will see more of this throughout the country. people in general will gradually and then faster and faster become more accepting of homosexuality. more weddings are also good for the economy too, so as long as it is generally accepted, i think state legislators (is that the correct term) will be all for it-- unless they are total homo-phobes!
