New York State Approves Marriage Equality

The Stonewall Democrats of Alachua County (SDAC) celebrates the passage of the Marriage Equality Bill by the New York State Senate. The bill was previously approved by the Assembly and Governor Andrew Cuomo has worked to get the bill approved in the Senate so he will be signing the bill. The approval in New York State will nearly double the number of Americans who live in areas with full marriage equality. Massachusetts, Iowa, Connecticut, Vermont, New Hampshire and Washington D.C. have previously approved Marriage Equality.

We at SDAC are looking forward to the day when our members here in North Florida have the same equal protections and the right to have our relationships recognized. Lets continue to work together to make that happen.
