Gavin Newsom (born 1967) is the Democratic mayor of San Francisco, having been elected in 2003. He attracted national attention in February, 2004 when he ordered San Francisco's city clerk to begin issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples, [1] despite the fact that this violated state law. Over 4,000 marriage licenses were issued in this manner until the California Supreme Court ordered a halt to this on March 11. All of these marriage licenses were voided by the California Supreme Court on August 12, 2004. [2]
