State Supreme Court Justice Doris Ling-Cohan is my hero!
I bought a book called "We Do" A Celebration of Gay and Lesbian Marriage, and it has photos from the weddings that occurred in San Francisco thanks to their mayor Gavin Newsome. The book is fabulous, I was moved to tears for these people. The happiness in their eyes is something I will never forget as long as I live. It's a beautiful thing, love is.
n a victory for same-sex marriage advocates, a New York state judge in Manhattan ruled today that denying gay couples licenses to marry violates the State Constitution, and she ordered the city to begin issuing licenses in March unless a higher court intervened.......more......
"The court recognized that unless gay people can marry, they are not being treated equally under the law," said Susan Sommer, a Lambda Legal Defense Fund lawyer who presented the case for five couples who brought the lawsuit.

Woot!
