City hears feedback on marriages, municipal relations
By: Jill Raygor March 10, 2004
Last Monday's announcement by Ithaca Mayor Carolyn Peterson offering city legal backing to any same-sex couple denied the right to marry by the state resulted in her receiving more than 40 e-mails within two days time, she said at last Wednesday's Common Council meeting.

However, only one member of the gay community addressed council during its March session.
Richard Livingston, a Town of Ithaca resident, was well received by the council. After congratulating the city for taking a stance on gay marriage he said that not enough was being done.

"I am being denied by the city and the town my constitutional right," said Livingston, who filed for a marriage license on March 1 with the town. "I am making the public aware that I will not shut up and I will not step back from my right that everybody else in Ithaca has."
