After 17 years of being together , with the last 3 years legally married , my husband Lonny and I long for the day where equality prevails over discrimination. Recently, an openly gay elected-official had said (and I paraphrase), "...I can officiate marriages, yet unable to get married to someone I love . I can organize blood drives , yet I am unable to donate ..."

In a historic vote, the New York Senate has voted 33-29 to pass a state bill (Bill 5045) legalizing same-sex marriage. The bill contains critical protections for the rights of religious and not-for-profit institutions, which means that these institutions are free to perform or not perform ceremonies as they see fit.

Why I posed is simple. I believe in a lot of things, but a few in particular: love , support and equality . Having gay freinds and family members, I wanted to remind them and the world that I love, support and will always fight for marriage and any cause for equality in the LGBT community. I may be a straight woman, but I have a heart and mind that loves everyone .   NIKKI
