Sealing their wedding vows with a kiss shortly after 9 a.m., Chelsea residents Phyllis Siegal, 76, and Connie Kopelov, 84, seen above, became the first same-sex couple to be legally married by the city clerk in his Lower Manhattan office.Siegal and Kopelov have been a couple for 23 years, but today is the first day that New York State has allowed the two women to get married.
It's about time, and once the holiness of marriage doesn't burn before our eyes, surely there is more to come. The next thing you know, DOMA and DADT will just be "can you believe it was ever this way" tales we tell our children. Or so I hope.
