New York Achieves Marriage Equality!
This is an extraordinary night for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) New Yorkers. Marriage for same-sex couples will soon become law, following the passage of the Marriage Equality Act. The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center applauds our state legislators in Albany for their historic vote in favor of marriage equality, and stands with all those involved in the New Yorkers United for Marriage coalition; their tireless efforts helped make this a reality. The Center also commends Governor Andrew Cuomo for his steadfast leadership on this issue.
Countless New York same-sex couples come to the Center every day seeking our services, having faced the numerous roadblocks brought on by a lack of marriage protections. Many come looking for LGBT friendly legal or financial referrals. Some come seeking support for their relationships. And even more come to create families with the help of our Center Families program, which has been serving LGBT couples and families for nearly 20 years.
In addition, the Center held several marriage forums in recent months to spotlight this issue and allow a platform for leaders and community members to speak out and advocate for marriage equality. Most recently we hosted a NY Latinos United for Marriage Equality rally and press conference, highlighting significant Latino community support for LGBT marriage protections and garnering significant media attention.
This vote sends a strong message to all New York same-sex couples that their lives and their families matter. It’s vitally important for the state to extend these much needed protections so that loving committed couples can take care of and be responsible for one another and for their families.
CONGRATULATIONS NEW YORK!

Dear LGBT Community,
This is the most exciting development! To see this in my lifetime brings me great joy and hope.
My name is Rev. David L. Brickman, born and raised in the UK, I am an Interfaith and Non-Denominational Minister living in New York City.
I strongly believe that marriage is a blending of the love, spirituality and beliefs of two individuals.
Love knows no religious boundaries.
I am happy to work with you to craft a personalized, unique and meaningful ceremony/commitment vows that reflect your truth, your faith, and your relationship.
I am able to perform Interfaith Marriage ceremonies, bilingually, in:
*English
*Spanish
*Italian
*German
*French
*Swedish.
*Portuguese
* Some Russian,Arabic and Afrikaans.
Also UNIQUE as an InterFaith Minister–
whereas QUITE often (even when the couple is a fully legally sanctioned Heterosexual one!):
* Priests (Catholicism; Eastern Orthodox; Episcopal)
* Jewish Rabbis (Orthodox; ‘Conservative’ and many ‘Reform’)
* MOST Protestant Ministers/Preachers/Pastors and ‘Elders’ & ‘Bishops’
* Islamic/Muslim Imams
* Buddhist and Hindu/Jain Priests/Gurus
will NOT marry the Couple/two people if they are NOT of the SAME Faith/Denomination.
But I am VERY HAPPY to do so!
I am happy to work with ALL kinds of people!
–Straight or GLBTQ, Couples of all backgrounds, faiths, and cultures.
Thank You,
David
