For many San Francisco gay couples, Valentine's Day is just a bitter reminder of what they
don't have -- marriage certificates.
So expect a huge turnout at San Francisco City Hall for the hallmark holiday today; gay couples across the nation will celebrate their love with a little civil disobedience.
Same-sex couples will line up at the county clerk's office and go through some of the same motions they endured last year, which is to apply for their marriage licenses, and get rejected.
It's much easier to take rejection when you already know it's coming. It's also a lot easier to organize a protest.
