Did any men get married?--Jaibe 19:49, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Yes, but I wasn't able to find any that were famous or notable. The first male couple married would be worth mentioning, but I couldn't find the names...maybe someone else can. Elizabeth Lund

[edit] reference wanted

The following text was just cut by someone as "unreferenced PoV" -- which is true, but it did come from articles being published at the time. I've saved the text here so if anyone has time to dig up the references it can be re-inserted. --Jaibe 22:54, 17 December 2006 (UTC)


Political analysis==
Some analysts thought scenes from these marriages helped recruit Republican voters to the polls in the 2004 election. On the other hand, Newsom and San Francisco succesfully upstaged the Massachusetts marriages that occurred two months later, which would have reflected even more strongly on the Democratic presidential candidate that year, John Kerry, a senator from Massachusetts.
