New York has taken the position of being the 6th state to offer same-gender loving couples the opportunity to wed. Yes, gay marriages will be happening in New York on Sunday, July 24. This is great news, and I'm happy for all New Yorkers who have waited years for this to happen.
However, there is a sadness to this great victory. Court clerks are quiting their jobs because they refuse to sign marriage licenses for same-gender loving couples or perform their ceremonies. These are some bold city clerks, for them to think that pubic discrimination is ok, is just insane.
With them quiting their jobs, they open the doors for a pleathor of officiants ready to work. And I'm one of those gay friendly officants ready to perform my job. I got my authorization to perform marriages in New York on July 12. Why you might ask, because I love my job, and I love what I do. And it's my way of showing support for my same-gender loving families.
I'll be in New York on July 26. If you're thinking of getting married on that day, send me a message. I'll be in Manhattan.
