NEW YORK LEGALIZES SAME-SEX MARRIAGE!


New York State is the 6th state in United States to pass the legality of same-sex marriage in the country. Governor Andrew Cuomo made this happen by signing the bill that legalizes same-sex marriage in New York before midnight on Friday. Above is an image of people who gathered outside the Stonewall Inn- the site of the Stonewall riots back in 1969 that lead to gay liberation movement- celebrating the success of same-sex marriage campaign. This is such a wonderful news for the community and I for one is proud to be a New Yorker!

During the New York City's Pride Week (from Friday, June 24th to Sunday, June 26th), New York's Empire State Building will be shining its world-famous tower lights in RAINBOW colours!


HAPPY PRIDE NEW YORK!!!
