US Gay Marriages Number 2400

After a delirious and wet weekend of gay weddings, the SF county clerk's office has now married about 2400 couples. In addition to Californians, out of state couples from Texas, Colorado, South Carolina, Pennsylvania, New Zealand, Switzerland, the Netherlands, and Thailand have been wed.

County Clerk Mabel Teng says she will continue to marry same-sex couples tomorrow until someone makes her stop. First court hearing is at 10am.

Correction: A Fox News story has the first court hearing this afternoon at 2pm, and the second at 5pm. The gay marriage rate has dropped substantially today, since the municipal offices are occupied with the city's other business and, in addition, the many volunteer staffers have returned to their regular jobs.
