Western Queens for Marriage Equality is a community coalition that believes marriage is a human right that should be available to all New Yorkers, regardless of sexual orientation. In the words of Mildred Loving, the woman whose courage made interracial marriage legal throughout America, marriage is about "the love, the commitment, the fairness, and the family that so many people, black or white, young or old, gay or straight seek in life. [We] support the freedom to marry for all."

NYC - Light the Way to Equality
http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=195038779993

Light the way to Equality!: a pre-session vigil--Monday, November 9, 6:00pm (after sunset)
Union Square Park on 14th Street (south side of park)

Bring pro-marriage signs, a candle (a flashlight or non-flame candle works just as good) as we come together to send a unified message to our NY Senate on the eve of the session that can decide marriage equality.

Elected officials and community leaders have been invited to speak and the press has been invited to cover this statewide movement. We have 11 locations, so far, participating across NYS.
