Washington pressures San Francisco over same-sex marriages.
In an article about how SF mayor Gavin Newsom is accusing Dubya of 'political showmanship' around the issue of same-sex marriage, we found this little tidbit:
The Social Security Administration announced Friday it has told its offices nationwide not to accept marriage certificates from San Francisco as proof of identification for newlyweds looking to make name changes on Social Security cards.
That's not marriage certificates for same-sex couples, mind you. It's for any marriage certificate from San Francisco. We're sure the straight couples who've been married in in SF in the last week or so will really appreciate the special attention they're getting from Washington.
