THE GAY IS BREAKING OUT!
all over!
From the Santa Fe New Mexican : " The floodgates have opened. Same-sex marriage has started in Santa Fe.
In a historic move, Santa Fe County Clerk Geraldine Salazar began issuing marriage licenses Friday to same-sex couples following an order from state District Judge Sarah Singleton that said Salazar should immediately start issuing the licenses or appear at a court hearing to show good cause why she shouldn’t.
The Clerk’s Office began issuing the licenses around 2 p.m. Friday.
By about 5:30 p.m., 45 same-sex couples had been issued licenses. The office stayed open for about an hour and a half longer to handle the line of gay couples coming to get licenses.
There was almost a party atmosphere at the County Administration Building as couples lined up to get marriage licenses — the first time in New Mexico in which the issuance of such licenses was backed up by a court order. Friends and loved ones hugged one another in the hallways, while some of the couples decided to get married right away in the County Commission Chambers upstairs."
