New York makes gay marriage legal

NEW YORK: Street parties broke out in the traditionally gay Manhattan neighbourhoods overnight Friday, as crowds danced to celebrate the legalisation of gay marriage in New York State. Police closed the corner of Christopher Street and Seventh Avenue in Manhattan's West Village to traffic, as throngs congregated near the Stonewall Inn, where riots broke out on June 28, 1969 after police raided the bar frequented by gay customers. — PTI
