Dozens of couples supporting a change in the laws allowing gay marriage gather at Bethesda Fountain in Central Park in New York on Valentine's Day Sunday, February 14, 2010. Officiated by the Reverend Billy the mock mass ceremony "unmarried" the couples to send a message to legislators that gay marriage is a civil rights and human rights issue and is supported by both straight and gay people.
