Gay rights got two wins today

President Obama came out in favor of gay marriage today, and the executive director of the Family Equality Council rung the New York Stock Exchange's closing bell.

This final note on the way out, which we’ll file under the category of apparently genuine coincidences.

President Obama came out today in favor of gay marriage, as you might have possibly somehow heard. Kinda big news.

Which gets us to the coincidence. The closing bell at the New York Stock Exchange today? Rung by the executive director of the pro-gay rights Family Equality Council.
