This morning on my way to breakfast at Grand Canyon I ran into Bob Zuckerman, candidate for the 39th district, petitioning with a supporter. Actually he was standing out of the rain underneath the scaffolding of Park Slope's infamous House of Whimsy, the mostly unoccupied apartment building on the corner of Second Street and Seventh Avenue.

He reminded me that last week he along with a group of Brooklyn LGBT groups helped to organize a marriage equality rally in JJ BYrne Park. The rally, which was sponsored by the Lambda Independent
Democrats of Brooklyn, the Stonewall Democratic Club of New York City, Marriage Equality New
York, the Brooklyn Community Pride Center, and the Jim Owles Liberal Democratic Club, was an opportunity for Brooklyn to demonstrate its support for marriage equality legislation. Zuckerman, who is hoping to be Brooklyn’s first openly LGBT legislator ever elected from Brooklyn, was the emcee.
