Leading NYC Mayoral Candidate Weds Her Partner


Christine Quinn, the speaker of the New York City Council and a leading candidate to be mayor, married her longtime partner, Kim M. Catullo "in one of the most prominent same-sex weddings of a public official to date," the New York Times reports.

Among those in attendance were Gov. Andrew Cuomo, Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, Sen. Charles Schumer; New York police commissioner Ray Kelly, several members of New York's congressional delegation, several members of the New York State Legislature and a dozen members of the City Council.
