NYC Domestic Partnership Certificate #168, March 4,
1993
NYC is one of the few cities that has formal DP registration;

hospital, heaven forbid, and we would have inheritance rights
to a rent-controlled apartment if only one of us had one...
"Wedding Certificate," April 24, 1993
This was from the 'mass wedding' at the MOW, in front of the
IRS, along with a thousand other choked-up same-sex couples. Just
like those Moony marriages, but with more designer clothes. Strange
scene.... half-crackpot, half-brazen and half-deeply-moving. (Yeah,
that's 150%, I know, but it was kinda like that.) The mythical
Reverend Troy Perry did honors (could that be his real name?);
altogether a stirring ceremony, and more political than religious,
thank God. Jeff's sister Lisa 'gave him away' [to me!], witnessed the event,
shed tears, photographed, and was our gracious surrogate extended
family...
