The NYPD blocked off Christopher Street between 6th and 7th avenues (directly in front of the historic Stonewall Inn) yesterday afternoon so that hundreds of New Yorkers had a place to celebrate SCOTUS's decision on DOMA and Prop 8. Edith Windsor, her lawyer Roberta Kaplan, and throngs of politicians, LGBTQ leaders, and religious leaders joined the celebration.
