100 Cities Hold Marches for Gay Rights
Tuesday, May 26, 2009
New York, NY –
Gay marriage advocates will march tonight from Greenwich Village to Union Square. The march was planned here and in 99 other cities, to respond to today's ruling by California's Supreme Court on the state's same sex marriage ban.
The court upheld the ban, while preserving the 18-thousand marriages that were performed before voters passed Proposition 8 last November. New York's Senate is considering a bill that would legalize gay marriage.
The Assembly passed the legislation earlier this month.
