Berkeley, California Reform Jews welcome: Same-Sex Wedding Erev Shabbat Celebration
Isn't it amazing how Jews just can't keep trying hard enough to keep up with the Joneses, even if the Joneses happen to be "same sex marriages", see what this congregation is up to as it announces:

"Same-Sex Wedding Erev Shabbat Celebration

Congregation Beth El http://urj.org/congs/ca/ca030/ warmly celebrates the weddings of the many members of the Bay Area Jewish community who have married in San Francisco over the past week and a half. We are pleased to rejoice over the civil licenses that now accompany the ketubot that many of the couples have signed through the years. We look forward to the day when all Jewish couples will be able to marry according to both Jewish ritual and civil law.

On Erev Shabbat, Friday, February 27th, (2004) during our Joy of Shabbat Service, Congregation Beth El (Berkeley, California) will religiously welcome any couples married by civil law during this period. We are honored to celebrate this wonderful moment in history as a Jewish community. The clergy will speak in support of equal marriage rights, and there will be a special Oneg following services."
