Marry me?

Yesterday there was a Freedom to Marry action at the Manhattan Marriage License Bureau. Same sex couples gathered to request a marriage license and were denied. Instead they were offered a domestic partnership, which costs more money than a marriage license, but doesn't offer the same rights and protections for the couple. We interviewed one couple who have been together for 30 years.

When the couples came out again they gathered on the steps of the building and released balloons into the sky.
