On Father’s Day, hundreds of LGBT activists and allies attended a rally in New York City’s Union Square, titled “Last Day Of Marriage Inequality,” an optimistic moniker in advance of a hopeful vote in the New York State Senate Monday. Queer Rising organized the rally. While no vote has been scheduled, activists are indeed hopeful Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos will allow an up-or-down vote on Governor Cuomo’s same-sex marriage equality bill on Monday, the official final day of this session of the State Senate.
In this video, civil rights attorney Yetta Kurland speaks triumphantly in favor of full civil same-sex marriage equality.
