NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y. (AP) — Still in the glow of midnight marriages across New York, hundreds of gay couples are expected to marry on the first full day same-sex weddings are legal in the Empire State.
New York City alone is ready to host several hundred same-sex weddings. Clerks, judges and other officials in several cities around the state are opening their doors on a Sunday to cater to gay couples.
The first couples got married in every corner of the state, from Niagara Falls to the capital in Albany to Long Island.
New York became the sixth, and largest, state to allow gay marriages last month. The highly anticipated vote was viewed as a pivotal moment in the national gay rights movement and is expected to galvanize supporters and opponents alike.
