"Let’s have a moment of silence, and then of grateful cheering, for the ancestors who loved every which way, kept love alive across warring tribes, across religions and races and genders… They evolve us past the burning in the public square, the banning from communities and families."

Daily News coverage by Kevin Deutsch:
"Chris Synder and Rebecca Stanton stood in the crowd before the Reverend, ready to trade "I don'ts." Had the straight couple not been able to legally tie the knot eight and a half years ago, they would have been separated before this, since Stanton hails from New Zealand.
"We feel very deeply, how much would it suck if we had fallen in love and we were both of the same sex and I couldn't have gotten a green card?" she reflected.
The 50 other couples assembled there felt much the same, and when the time came they looked into each others' eyes, held hands, and halted their legal promises. Some already unmarried couples promised not to marry, in solidarity."
