It is official. The free city of New York became the sixth US city to approve the marriage equality legislation. Governor Andrew Cuomo signed the bill just before midnight Friday.
Gay rights advocates all over the world joined in the celebration of the long awaited signing of the bill that legalizes same-sex marriage in New York. The city, being the largest US state which approved the said bill, is now blooming with LGBT (Read: Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender) pride!

The sexual revolution of 1960's marked the start of a new movement that is set to challenge the sexual conformities of the society. Since this period onwards, the norms of the society has been changed. Formerly unthinkable acts such as abortion, contraception, nudity, homosexuality and even pre-marital sex has been rampant and mainstream. It is really hard to have a stand in this kind of issue. On one end, you might think that it really is right to have a go on this law. Everyone does deserve a chance to be happy, right? Even the people of the third gender, they have that innate right. And if that is what makes them happy, as long as they aren't doing any harm, then, let them be. Though you still can't erase the fact that it would look somehow awkward, especially if they have children (whether they would be adopted or surrogated, giving birth is not an option). But if they have the financial and the emotional capacity to raise those kids, that would be good. But then, it is still a big question whether the church deems the act as something moral. Though the obvious answer would be no. They have been strongly against it for ages, insisting that marriage is something sacred, thus, it should be a union between a man and a woman only. The passage of the said bill is also deemed to be the deterioration of the people's morality. Nevertheless, the law was signed with a 33-29 votes in favor of the republicans. Sorry, Obama, your conservative views have no place in America. Yesterday's passage of the law is the momentum for equality of the sexes.

| This is similar to how an average person's perspective of gay couples having children. |
Sometimes, it makes me think of how homo-phobics are so narrow-minded to actually think that way. So yes, I am actually for the legalization of same-sex marriages. Here are some of the celebrities who have gone out of their closets.

| Neil Patrick Harris from How I Met Your Mother and longtime partner, David Burtka has planned on saying I-do's now that New York has legalized same-sex marriages |
 |
| Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi have already wed in California in August 2008 |
 |
| Despite having hordes of girls to crush on him, the winner of American Idol Season 8, Adam Lambert is also openly-gay. |
 |
| Chris Colfer is one of the actors who have played a gay role. |
Raise that rainbow flag for the LGBT!
