Nearly a year ago, Albany was taken by storm.

Last May 1 over 1,000 people lobbied members of the New York State Assembly and Senate about the issue closest to their hearts. It was the third annual Equality and Justice Day, and it helped convince the state Assembly to pass a Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender-inclusive marriage bill. If passed in the Senate, this new law will make New York a new forerunner in the fight for same-sex marriage rights.
