It has been less than 24 hours since marriage equality in New York was voted into law and already a tremendous amount of information is flooding out of the gates. We're talking everything from how the historic vote came to be to how being married will change gay couple's finances to how a gay couple who is so inclined can get hitched. Not to mention the very important issue of what celebrities think of the news.
