Mar. 8, 2004 – California State Assemblywoman Marries

“This city [San Francisco] once again saw the melding of the personal and political Monday [Mar. 8, 2004] when state Sen. Sheila Kuehl (D-Santa Monica) presided over the marriages of six couples who have long been active in the gay and lesbian community, including Assemblywoman Jackie Goldberg. In back-to-back ceremonies on the steps of the City Hall rotunda, Kuehl, California’s first openly gay state legislator, pronounced her close friends and political colleagues married to tears and shouts of jubilation.”
