Norwalk: A warm reception

9:16 AM | June 17, 2008

Outside a row of courthouse windows where licenses were being issued, a group of five people from the Unitarian Universalist Church of Long Beach were handing out long-stem red roses, with green notes tied to them saying, "Standing on the side of love ... with all best wishes from the Unitarian Universalist Church of Long Beach."

Church member Sandra Kroll said: "We're celebrating with whoever is getting married today, including the heterosexual couples. We're handing out roses to everybody." Chelsea Thompson, 24, of Anaheim and Bonni Millon, 24 of Long Beach, who arrived at 10 p.m. Monday to get an early spot in line, were still navigating the phalanx of windows and booths they had to go to to for their license and ceremony.

At 9 a.m., after having been led from one station to another, often in the wrong direction, they were finally picking up their license. Standing at that window, Thompson rested her head on Millon's shoulder. Thompson appeared slightly flushed, and Millon caressed her cheek and whispered words of comfort to her.

Shameful. Banning and censoring is far more fascist than Wagner's single note (the man was dead before Hitler was born).
