Lesbian Couple Weds Legally In Beverly Hills

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) ― A throng of well-wishers and news media surrounded a lesbian couple as they were married in a Jewish ceremony in front of the Beverly Hills courthouse this afternoon.

The ceremony was broadcast live on three newscasts in Los Angeles.

Robin Tyler and Diane Olson wept and pressed their foreheads together, and onlookers cheered as the marriage became valid.

A landmark California Supreme Court ruling overturning bans on gay marriage went into effect at 5 p.m. and clerks in at least five counties began handing out gender-neutral marriage licenses.
