Buxbaum said she felt guilty celebrating their marriage in a city where her gay friends couldn’t enjoy the same benefits. “I started to feel terrible,” she said. “I was sharing something that not everybody could have.” Stringer said, “We both agreed it was the right thing to do.” The couple will still hold a ceremony in New York City in September, but will obtain their marriage license and have a civil ceremony in Connecticut a few days before.

Oh wow, Scott. You showed them. You’re gonna get married in Connecticut, then come back to New York where you’ll re-assume your useless position as Borough President, a do-nothing job with no responsibility that collects a nice paycheck just like you do now.
What a champion.
You all know how I feel about gay marriage, but only a true toolbag can make an issue about them when, in reality, it has nothing to do with them. The city loses nothing by Mr. Stringer getting married in Connecticut so I don’t really see the point.
Symbolic? Sure. Actually meaningful? Not even close.
