Gay couples can't legally marry in New York, so the City Council has voted to require the clerk to tell them where they can go to get hitched.

The council approved a measure Wednesday that requires the clerk to provide that information to same-sex couples registering domestic partnerships. The information also would be posted online and in the city's marriage offices.

City Council Speaker Christine Quinn says the law helps couples know where they can legally wed.

She says it also sends a message to New York state lawmakers that the city wants gay couples to be recognized and will do everything in its power to do so.

my state does recognize marriages performed elsewhere, but i cant wait for the day when its legalized here. plus, i dont know why its taking so long seeing as a majority of ppl in NY support it

If they legalised gay marriage in New York then we wouldn't need this position.
