Governor Directs Port Authority to Light Spire of One World Trade Center in Rainbow Colors This Sunday
“New York has been a leader in the fight for
marriage equality, and today’s Supreme Court decision affirms what we
have fought so hard for – that marriage is a fundamental right that
should be afforded to everyone, regardless of whom they love. When we
passed the Marriage Equality Act in 2011, New York sent a message to the
nation that it was time to end one of society’s greatest inequities,
and I am thrilled to see the Court join us on the right side of history.
Dividing people into first and second-class citizens is not only wrong,
it runs contrary to who we are as a nation. From Stonewall to Edie
Windsor, New Yorkers have always been on the front lines of the fight to
ensure equality and fairness for all. Today, we are proud New Yorkers
and proud Americans. Today, progress marches on.”
In recognition of this decision and New
York City Pride Week, the Governor has directed that the lights on One
World Trade Center’s 408-foot spire will light up in rainbow on Sunday night, June 28.
