Marriage

(Community Matters) I was in the Golden Theatre when I heard – sitting between Hilary and Anne Wynne. The cast of The Normal Heart had just received a standing ovation, came back for an encore, house lights were coming up and my friend Paul Boskind came onto the stage. “I just wanted to let you know that while your telephones were off, New York passed marriage.”

Steven and Brent were walking in Greenwich Village, near Sheridan Square when they heard hollering. Steven was following Marty Rouse’s news feed, so knew marriage had just passed. The started walking in the direction of the celebration and came upon Stonewall – the US epicenter of LGBT equality. Somehow they got in; Brett started hugging, taking pictures, then we all met at the Standard to celebrate with the Adlers/Lands.
