Well another Gay Pride Weekend has come and gone. Last Friday, New York City passed legislation legalizing same-sex marriages. This is another huge step for Equal Rights for EVERY PERSON. New York now becomes the largest state where gay and lesbian couples will be able to wed. This gives the national gay-rights movement new momentum from the state where it was born in 1969.
As a sign of support for this legislation, Madonna released a new video for the song I LOVE NEW YORK. The new video includes never-before released concert footage of the song, as it was performed during Madonna's Confession Tour in 2006. I think it's amazing that an artist like Madonna is so public and open about world issues. Madonna has always been a supporter of Gay rights. And for her to release a new video in support of her fans, gay or straight, when this law was passed and on Gay Pride weekend is fitting. So here is Madonna performing I Love New York from her Confessions on a Dance Floor album. Enjoy!
