Bush screws up. Film at 11.
Mar. 2nd, 2004 10:05 amDon't know why this isn't getting more new coverage, but here it is...
Federal agency rejects S.F. licenses
To summarize:
The Bush Administration took another swipe at San Francisco's gay wedding parade on Friday, instructing the Social Security Administration to ignore name change requests based on marriage licenses issued after Feb. 12 in the city.
The order applies to all such requests emanating from San Francisco County, including those of heterosexual couples.
Now, there are other forms of ID which can be used to change one's name, so this isn't making it impossible for people, but it's definitely gonna piss 'em off.
The thing that gets me is, since the order applies to everyone getting married in San Francisco and not just same-sex couples, what Bush is effectively doing is screwing people over just because they're from a city which has pissed him off.
Truly a class act.
