Protesters Picket Ceremony of Lesbian Couple

JUNE 16: Anti-gay religious protesters picket at the ceremony of lesbian couple Robin Tyler and Diane Olson after they were married in the first legally recognized same-sex marriage in Los Angeles County, at the Beverly Hills courthouse on June 16, 2008 in Beverly Hills, California. The two were plaintiffs in one of the lawsuits that led to the overturning of California's gay marriage ban. Gay and Lesbian marriages became legal in California at 5:01 p.m. The California Supreme Court refused to stay its decision legalizing same-sex marriage despite calls by conservative and religious opponents, before an initiative to amend the state constitution to ban gay marriage goes to ballot in November. A study released by University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) this month projects that nearly half of the state's 102,600 same-sex couples will marry in the next three years and, along with same-sex couples from other states, will spend more than $683 million on weddings, honeymoons and other marriage-related activities.
