THE LONG AND WINDING WALK DOWN THE AISLE


Niagara Falls went all rainbow today when couples began marrying at the legendary honeymoon spot.


Marriage Equality became legal in the Empire State of New York at exactly midnight eastern standard time on Sunday, July 22, 2011. Here's a celebratory toast from the left coast, and may all married couples in New York find many hears of health and happiness.

This Village Voice photo by Steven Thrasher made my grinchy heart grow two sizes: "That's Steve Landis and Julie Irwin, who brought their 4-year-old twins Emily and Sophie to Brooklyn Borough Hall this morning to be flower girls for whoever might need them. They don't even know anyone getting married today! Aw."
