New York City Council Speaker Christine C. Quinn, who is openly gay, told NBC Nightly News, “Today those families were told they matter and that the state of New York cares about them as much as anyone else.” POINT From Niagara Falls to Albany to New York FOUNDATION City hundreds of gay and lesbians applied for GALA marriage licenses. The first couple to marry under the new law PAGE 34 was Kitty Lambert, 54, and Cheryle Rudd, 53, of Buffalo, who exchange vows in a religious ceremony at Niagara Falls—shortly after mid- night. In New York City alone, 823 couples were granted marriage licenses with many of those couples expected to marry right away. City clerks’ offices opened in all five boroughs as judges were on hand to officiate and to waiver the state’s mandatory 24-hour waiting period between licensure and wedding cer- emony. By day’s end, city officials said 659 couples had picked up their licenses. The first couple to marry legally in the city was Phyllis Siegel, 76, and Connie Kopelov, IFTI NASIM 84. The Chelsea couple has been together for DIES 23 years.

  • Quarterback Sami Grisafe Comes out of Retirement, Returns to the Chicago
    ChicagoPride.com News March 8, 2017 Quarterback Sami Grisafe comes out of retirement, returns to the Chicago Force By Ross Forman March 8, 2017 https://chicago.gopride.com/news/article.cfm/articleid/82083025 Singing sensation also has been a gridiron great on the local and international field CHICAGO, IL -- She's baaaack! Yep, Sami Grisafe, arguably the greatest quarterback in the history of women's tackle football, is returning to the Chicago Force after a two-year retirement. The eight-game Force regular-season kicks off in April and the home opener is May 6, when Chicago plays host to the Minnesota Vixen, with kickoff set for 6 p.m., at Evanston Township High School. Grisafe's return was spurred by team owner Linda Bache, who has announced the 2017 season will be the team's last, though new owner(s) could potentially acquire the team. And the Force, Grisafe said, has become her "surrogate family" over the past decade or so. "The idea of getting to play football with my sisters for one more year put a lot of joy in my heart, (and) I saw an opportunity to redeem myself after my injury-stricken season in 2014," Grisafe said. "I feel good about the decision. Football is my first love. You can never completely get your first love out of your system. Luckily, I still have gas in the tank and am fortunate enough to continue playing. It's also nice to still feel wanted by my teammates, coaches, and management." Still, Grisafe said it was a "very difficult" decision to put her pads back on.
