Today, the New York Civil Liberties Union will celebrate Valentine’s Day with a call to action: It’s time for New York State to say “I Do!” to marriage equality!

Representatives from the NYCLU will be at Penn Station today showing their support for the freedom of same-sex couples to marry by giving out candy and valentines, and getting people to sign letters in support of marriage equality.

The NYCLU is one of the state’s leading advocates for the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender New Yorkers. Earlier this month, a New York appellate court ruled in a unanimous decision that marriages of same-sex couples entered into outside of New York must be recognized in this state. The case, filed by the NYCLU, is the first appellate court decision in the state and the first known decision in the country to hold that a valid same-sex marriage must be recognized.

WHAT:
A Valentine’s Day call to action in support of marriage equality

WHERE:
Outside Penn Station, 7th Avenue between 31st and 32nd streets

WHEN:
Thursday, Feb. 14, 5 p.m.
