A Scene at City Hall in San Francisco.



City clerk, "Next."
Applicant, "Good morning. We want to apply for a marriage license."
City clerk, "Names?"
Applicant, "Tim and Jim Jones."
City clerk, "Jones? Are you related? I see a resemblance."
Applicant, "Yes, we're brothers."
City clerk, "Brothers? You can't get married."
Applicant, "Why not? Aren't you giving marriage licenses to same gender
couples?"
City clerk, "Yes, thousands. But we haven't had any siblings. That's
incest!"
Applicant, "Incest?" No, we are not gay."
City clerk, "Not gay? Then why do you want to get married?"
Applicant, "For the financial benefits, of course. And we do love each
other. Besides, we don't have any other prospects."
City clerk, "But we're issuing marriage licenses to gay and lesbian
couples who've been denied equal protection under the law. If you are
not gay, you can get married to a woman."
Applicant, "Wait a minute. A gay man has the same right to marry a
woman as I have. But just because I'm straight doesn't mean I want to
marry a woman. I want to marry Jim."
Applicant's Partner, "And I want to marry Tim, Are you going to
discriminate against us just because we are not gay?"
City clerk, "All right, all right. I'll give you your license."

"Next."
Applicant, "Hi. We are here to get married."
City clerk, "Names?"
Applicant, "John Smith, Jane James, Robert Green, and June Johnson."
City clerk, "Who wants to marry whom?"
Applicant, "We all want to marry each other."
City clerk, "But there are four of you!"
Applicant, "That's right. You see, we're all bisexual. I love Jane and
Robert, Jane loves me and June, June loves Robert and Jane, and Robert
loves June and me. All of us getting married together is the only way
that we can express our sexual preferences in a marital relationship."
City clerk, "But we've only been granting licenses to gay and lesbian
couples."
Applicant, "So you're discriminating against bisexuals!"
City clerk, "No, it's just that, well, the traditional idea of marriage
is that it's just for couples."
Applicant, "Since when are you standing on tradition?"
City clerk, "Well, I mean, you have to draw the line somewhere."
Applicant, "Who says? There's no logical reason to limit marriage to
couples. The more the better. Besides, we demand our rights! The mayor
says the constitution guarantees equal protection under the law. Give us
a marriage license!"
City clerk, "All right, all right."

"Next."
Applicant, "Hello, I'd like a marriage license."
City clerk, "In what names?"

Applicant, "David Deets."
City clerk, "And the other man?"
Applicant, "That's all. I want to marry myself."
City clerk, "Marry yourself? What do you mean?"
Applicant, "Well, my psychiatrist says I have a dual personality, so I
want to marry the two together. Maybe I can file a joint income-tax
return."
City clerk, "That does it! I quit!! You people are making a mockery of
marriage!!"
