On August 16th, Senator Squadron and his colleagues hosted a symposium titled "After 'I Do': What's Next for LGBT New Yorkers?" Even after the historic marriage equality vote, LGBT New Yorkers still face a number of challenges after they’re married -- including DOMA, GENDA, interstate travel and relocation, adoption, social security, and health benefits.  This page features a number of resources from our panelists on remaining post-marriage obstacles, as well as the broader challenges to true equality for all.  Click here (or scroll down) for video of the symposium.

“Today’s deadly crash at Essex and Delancey Streets is a tragedy, but not unexpected.  According to the NYS Department of Transportation, there have been more than 80 crashes at this exact location over a 10-year period.  A 2006 report by the Manhattan Borough President’s Office found this intersection to be the most congested in theborough.  That’s why we have called on the New York City Department of Transportation to implement red light cameras and other pedestrian safety measures at ‘danger spot’ intersections throughout the city, including at Essex and Delancey.&nbsp

“While I am still reviewing the details of the decision, it seems this ruling came to the same conclusion the community and I have been advocating: we need an agreement that assures that construction is completed as soon as possible. I urge the Port Authority and Silverstein Properties to spend these forty-five days negotiating around the clock to arrive at an agreement that will allow construction to proceed and conclude. Further fights and delays are unacceptable.”
