Gay USA: NYCLU legal experts on same-sex marriage
Congratulations to all in California on the commencement of marriage equality there. We'll be talking about it on this week's show.

GUESTS FROM THE NYCLU:
For our last twenty minutes, we are honored to be joined by leaders of the New York Civil Liberties Union--Donna Lieberman, the executive director, and Matt Faiella, staff attorney. They will discuss the Martinez case that they won, securing recognition in New York of legal same-sex marriages performed elsewhere. And they will answer questions about how far that recognition extends in New York. You can read the Q&A they wrote on same-sex marriage rights at: http://www.nyclu.org/node/1804/
