3rd Annual Valentine's Day Action
February 14, 2009 (in lieu of freedom to marry day)

About Freedom to Marry Day

On National Freedom to Marry Day, Thursday, February 12, 2009, at local marriage counters in cities all over New York State, same-sex couples will request marriage licenses at their local County Clerk's Offices to raise awareness of the harms and impact that the inability to marry causes on their families. This national event is hosted yearly by Marriage Equality USA (MEUSA), in New York State by Marriage Equality New York (MENY), and this year they have asked Join the Impact for our help to make this their largest Marriage Counter Action yet!

My wife and I got there about 1:40 with our two kids. Kitty was speaking and the crowd was involved. I had chills being a part of something so simple yet so important. We are proud to be teaching our children tolerance and peaceful protest. Sam Hoyt was inspirational as well. Lots of horn honking support and a decent size crowd for a rainy Saturday. Keep it going folks!!

My partner of 21 years - my wife in Toronto - and I were there to support the cause. We moved to Toronto from Virginia after they amended the Bill of No Rights there. We are glad to see so many others who are getting angry now. After a lifetime - 30+ years of political activism for gay - and other - rights, I am running out of steam and time. Thanks to those who are picking up the torch and running with it.
