July 24, 2011
The Big Apple said “I do” to a new era of gay rights this morning and celebrated New York City’s first same-sex weddings.
Phyllis Siegel, 75, and Connie Kopelov, 85, got hitched at the marriage bureau on Worth Street in Lower Manhattan at 9:02 a.m., setting off wedding bells.

Little known fact:
There was a pastor in Madison who was secretly marrying gay couples in his basement back in the mid-70s
It didn’t hold up legally of course but it meant a lot to the ppl involved. The basement was “finished” and not at all depressing, and his wife made sure there was a nicely decorated wedding cake. Seen it wit’ me own eyes.
