A large crowd turned out in Union Square this evening for a rally in response to the New York Senate's rejection of a marriage equality yesterday. Here are a few photographs I shot.
Above, Marriage Equality New York Executive Director Ron Zacchi addresses the crowd. Below, Governor David Paterson was warmly received.
It was hard for me to see from where I was how many people were there. Definitely many hundreds, perhaps more than a thousand.
Also speaking at the rally were Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer, Assemblywoman Deborah Glick, State Senator Daniel Squadron, and several others which I'll add here as soon as I get names and spelling right. Unfortunately, I didn't get photos of everyone, but many follow.
Joe.My.God has some additional photo coverage here.
State Senator Tom Duane, the marriage bill's lead sponsor was angry, on fire.
