New York legislature says "I do" to same-sex marriage (big photo gallery)
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." Human rights, dignity, equality, gift registries, tax breaks, divorces, and love for all. They're celebrating in the streets tonight. Below, a couple follows the New York Senate sessions via twitter as they await the vote announcement. More photos follow.
