People on the street cheer after the New York Senate passed a bill legalizing gay marriage in New York June 24, 2011. The state legislature of New York tonight made same-sex marriages legal. New York now becomes the sixth state to allow gay people to get married, and is the most populous state to do so. Reuters: "State senators voted 33-29 to approve marriage equality legislation introduced by Governor Andrew Cuomo, a Democrat in his first year of office."
