2,500 for Marriage Equality in Astoria

The Parks Dept. estimates that 2,500 people showed up for the marriage equality rally in Astoria on Sunday! There is a growing movement to get this done without any more delays (we're trailing Maine and Iowa).

There are only a few weeks left in the legislative session. Several senators in NYC are not (yet) on board -- we need their constituents to call their offices in Albany to urge them to support the marriage equality bill.

Democratic Senators are:
Huntley (581-455-3531)
Kruger (Carl, that is) (581-455-2460)
Onorato (581-455-3486)
(Note: Ruben Diaz is considered a lost cause on this issue.)

and Repubican Senators are:
Golden (581-455-2730)
Lanza (581-455-3215)
Padavan (581-455-3381)

They could all stand to hear from their constituents. Make the call now. Spread the word.
