Same-sex Couples Face Legal, Planning Questions Long Island Press
“With our beautiful beaches on both shores and top-notch catering facilities, Long Island will be the gay wedding destination for same-sex couples,” said David Kilmnick, CEO of the Bay Shore-based Long Island GLBT Services Network, who launched longislandgayweddings.org as a same-sex wedding planning guide.
Kilmnick is also organizing a free mass wedding at Carlyle on the Green in Bethpage State Park on Tuesday, July 26 , the first day gay and lesbian couples will legally be able to marry. The law goes into effect on a Sunday, when government offices are closed, forcing couples to wait 24 hours after applying for a marriage license the following Monday.
But the waiting period may be the smallest of hoops married same-sex couples will have to jump through. Experts say the lack of nationwide marriage equality laws means rights won under state law are limited.
“Same-sex couples still, from a tax standpoint, are going to be stuck filing as individuals,” said Paul Hyl, an estate and elder law attorney who is a senior associate at Melville-based Genser, Dubow, Genser & Cona, LLP.
