Remember that??? Random... I know.

Anyways, if you don’t remember the wassup craze you definitely remember that NY just legalized same-sex marriages, and with the official date July 24th recently behind us, Associated Press just released an article about an expected ‘NY Adoption Boom’ 

The logic is that since same-sex couples can now establish a formal family structure, bringing a child into the picture is ‘the next natural progression’. Not to mention that having the traditional two parent household (and by traditional household I mean modern family, tehe) gives same-sex couples more confidence in adoption. Make sense? Now factor this in with the ‘unprecedented gay marriage’ demand expected for the most populated state to legalize same-sex marriage

According to a news release from Mayor Michael Bloomberg's office, 659 marriage licenses were issued on Sunday, while 484 gay couples got married.
