Description:
While some members of Queer Rising were in Albany, NY rallying in the halls of the Senate for pro-marriage equality votes, a band of Queer Rising members and allies organized a rally in-front of the historic Stonewall Inn urging voters to call the Senate Majority Leader and the Senate Switch-board demanding the Marriage Equality vote be brought to the floor. Participants then marched from Stonewall to Union Square, shouting “Vote! Vote! We Demand a Vote!” and encouraging everyone along the way to dial the phone numbers. Marriage Equality in New York was approved by the State Senate on June 24, 2011.
