Tuesday’s vote in Maine to repeal its law allowing gay couples to wed was a disheartening, disgusting blow. And now we must steel ourselves for New York’s say in the matter, as the State Legislature will vote on Tuesday, November 10, in a special session, on whether to pass the same-sex marriage bill. What can you do about it? For one, you can make calls to state legislators, imploring them to vote for the bill. And come Monday, November 9, you can join LGBT New Yorkers and their supporters—that means you, straight folks!—at the Marriage Equality New York Pre-Session Vigil in Union Square, a grassroots gathering at 6pm. Bring pro-marriage signs, a candle or flashlight, and a message: love. Vote in favor of love.
