GLAAD at Work on First Day of Marriages in New York
On July 24, New York State began to legally allow marriage for loving and committed gay and lesbian couples. GLAAD's imprint on this monumental day was highly visible, and will remain visible indefinitely as the most influential national and international media continue to report on the significance of marriage equality in New York. GLAAD provided media training to many of the couples who married on July 24, couples we then pitched to numerous local, national and international media. Included among them were Alan Miles & Drew Glick and Tiffany Peckosh & Meredith Soffrin – both of whom shared their story with GLAAD shortly after we issued a call for couples on July 13.
