Heterosexual nutjobs place their sacred marriages in a lockbox and brace for deep impact
People are getting gay married in New York like you wouldn’t believe, and so far, the universe seems okay with it.
First up? Kitty Lambert and her partner Cheryle Rudd, who have waited more than a decade for New York to recognize their relationship:
According to a press release from New Yorkers United for Marriage, the first same-sex couple to legally wed in New York State will be Buffalo residents Kitty Lambert and Cheryle Rudd, who will tie the knot on Luna Island in front of Niagara Falls. Also, “For the first time, to commemorate the wedding, monumental Niagara Falls will be lit in hues of the rainbow equality flag.”
The release notes that:
Kitty Lambert and Cheryle Rudd have waited over a decade for New York to recognize their relationship; and after five children and twelve grandchildren, these Buffalo residents do not want to wait one second longer. So, at exactly 12:00:01, one second after marriage equality becomes the law of their home state, Kitty and Cheryle will finally say, “I do,” in the presence of family, friends, local and statewide elected officials, national VIPs and thousands of well-wishers.
(Can you imagine how many couples have gotten married and divorced during the more than ten-year period that Cheryle and Kitty were waiting around for New York to get its shit together? I’m not sure of the exact number, but I’m going with “lots.”)
Aaaaanyway, Kitty and Cheryle were married just after midnight today:
