One more nice story of same-sex parents getting married in New York: Jo-Ann Shain and Mary Jo Kennedy were among the plaintiffs in the 2004-5 marriage equality case Hernandez v. Robles. They won in a lower court before the ruling was overturned by the state Court of Appeals, the state’s highest court. They finally married last Sunday, the first day they could legally do so in their home state. The New York Daily News has the story.
Their daughter is now 22, only one of the many children of same-sex parents who saw their moms or dads wed last weekend. Congratulations to all the families!
