my dear friends Esther and Lisa were married on February 14th, as I wrote about before on here. but now their story's been told in this week's AsianWeek and with many a great quote from them and our wonderful County Assessor Mabel Teng. Here's some excerpts of the article:

When people are lining up to get married, they’re crying. They’re crying because we’re finally being recognized...
Sitting cozily next to her wife, Lee, 31, says, “Yes, we got married. It’s rolling off my tongue a lot easier ... Marriage! I never imagined we would be able to get married.”
Chun says on Feb. 12, the first day San Francisco began issuing same-sex marriage licenses, she was skeptical. But later that day she happened to ask her insurance agent why she and Lee had to have separate auto policies. He told Chun he could only give out a joint policy if they were married. Lee remembers, “After that conversation, Lisa said, ‘OK. Let’s get in line.’”... The funny ending to the story is that we got the joint auto insurance...
When I got there, the power and energy and shear joy was so exciting. … People were in line crying because finally, we were being recognized.

Teng tells the women, “I’m proud to offer you equality in San Francisco.”
