This annual Gay Pride Day was especially Proud, Joyful and Historic. Just two days before the annual Gay Pride Parade in New York City, Governor Andrew Cuomo signed the bill that made Gay and Lesbian marriages legal in New York State. I had the pleasure of being invited to march in the Governor's contingent which led the Parade. This year's parade was one of the most highly attended with the wonderful equality law being passes. Being at the beginning of the parade with Governor Cuomo and hearing all the loud applause and cheers throughout the rout was thrilling and exhilarating.
