>From today's Washington Post MORE CITIES SUPPORTIVE OF GAY MARRIAGE "Chicago, Feb. 19 -- With San Francisco officials allowing hundreds of gay couples to marry at City Hall in recent days, a growing number of local elected officials across the country say they wish they, too, could grant licenses for same-sex weddings.
" This week, Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley (D) said he would have 'no problem,' if Cook County allowed gay marriages. Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak (D) has issued a proclamation in favor of treating gay couples the same as heterosexuals. Mayors in Salt Lake City and Plattsburgh, N.Y. also have expressed support for same-sex marriage."
