Paul Katami and Jeff Zarillo exchanged vows in an emotional ceremony at L.A. City Hall officiated by Mayor Villaraigosa who said it best, “I don’t know about you but I’ve got goosebumps.”
Kris Perry and Sandy Stier had their marriage license in hand following an order by the 9th Circuit to lift an injunction barring same-sex couples from marrying in California and were married by Attorney General Kamala Harris on the mayor’s balcony at City Hall in San Francisco at approximately 4:45 PT while the bronze bust memorial of Harvey Milk stood as witness to the historic event.
Congratulations to Paul & Jeff and Kris & Sandy for your courage and strength and for fighting for the civil rights of all LGBT Californians and for showing that individual actions can win our fight for equality.
