Some municipalities and counties have issued marriage licenses to same gender couples to test the existing statutes, while other city officials have been demonstrating their support by joining lesbian and gay partners in what everyone concedes are only symbolic unions. A June 1st mass wedding in Southern California's queer mecca of WEST HOLLYWOOD brought a hundred couples to the altar for such a ceremony. Comedian MARGARET CHO was Mistress of Ceremonies, dance diva PEPPER MASHAY and the GAY MEN'S CHORUS OF LOS ANGELES performed, and WEST HOLLYWOOD MAYOR JOHN DURAN officiated.
