				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:center"><img src="http://xotheknot.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/pride_01.jpg?w=611" /></p><p>On June 24th, 2011, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo made waves by signing a bill to legalize same-sex marriage &#8212; and just one month later, that law finally went into effect. Tomorrow marks the one-year anniversary of marriage equality in the largest (and arguably most influential) state to allow gay and lesbian nuptials.</p>
<p>So how many have wed since? State Department of Health figures indicate that at least 3,424 same-sex couples (six percent of the total number of weddings) have been married outside New York City as of mid-July, <a href="http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5iWm-G57-0SXbiAHI4_8K9Az0BW8Q?docId=e1ab6372f2094e25af5adf07476318d4">the <em>Associated Press</em> reports</a>. And in New York City, roughly 5,054 marriage licenses were issued since February.</p>
<p>Also falling within this past year was President Barack Obama&#8217;s <a href="http://blog.theknot.com/2012/05/09/breaking-news-president-obama-endorses-gay-marriage/">announcement</a> publicizing his support for marriage equality. Even so, no state has yet to follow New York&#8217;s legalization of same-sex weddings.</p>
