The following post comes from Michael Kamen, HRC volunteer on Long Island working on to secure marriage equality for all New Yorkers:

This past weekend, Stony Brook University hosted I-CON, the northeast's largest convention of science fiction.  HRC Long Island organizer Lisa Votino-Tarrant, a handful of volunteers and I (in monkey costume) were at the school among many other fictional characters including the the Link, Batman, and even Sailor Moon. Long Islanders (in costume) are speaking up! Over the three-day event, we collected over 650 postcards to send to our New York state senators urging them to support Marriage Equality. Even the Dark Lord and Chewbacca were in agreement; every New Yorker should have the freedom to marry the person they love.

Please note: the characters signed with their real names and addresses.

If you’re on Long Island and want to help make marriage equality a reality, contact Lisa Votino-Tarrant at [email protected] or Dominique Salice at [email protected].
