HOBOKEN – On July 24, the same day that same-sex couples can marry in New York, Garden State Equality and Lambda Legal will host a rally for marriage equality in Hoboken’s downtown Pier A Park, located across from the Manhattan skyline on the waterfront.
The event, which is hosted by Hoboken Mayor Dawn Zimmer, begins at 2 p.m.
“Please join us and bring your family and friends to send the world a message: New Jersey must be next,” the organizers of the rally wrote in a press release.
Officials in New York voted on June 24 to legalize same-sex marriage, and the state law will go into effect on July 24. – Ray Smith
