Rochesterians!: Join other marriage equality supporters in Rochester this Sunday afternoon, September 26th, for our city's first ever Annual Wedding March!
Supporters all across the state will be marching for the freedom for all to marry, as other events have been organized in Buffalo, Albany and NYC.
The following includes important information about the Wedding March in Rochester:
It will begin promptly at 2PM... but individuals, couples and families should plan to arrive at the Monroe County Office Building (39 W.
