NY political stunt: Two men to apply for marriage license
Hoping to make a statement about the legitimacy of same-sex marriage, two East Hills men plan to walk into the Oyster Bay town clerk’s office at 3:30 p.m. Monday with $40 and two forms of identification and apply for a marriage license . . .
Tara Keenan-Thomson, the executive director of the Nassau County chapter of the New York Civil Liberties Union, said she also plans to be there as a neutral observer . . .
Their goal is to get constituents to pressure Marcellino, so that he will pressure state Senate Majority Leader Joseph Bruno (R-Brunswick) to bring a gay marriage bill to the Senate floor for a vote. That bill would make a marriage valid regardless of the couple’s sex . . .
