The Gay Liberation Monument as it was decorated this Oct. 19.
On Mon., Oct. 19, filmmaker Elaine Gold left ribbons, flowers and a “Just Married” sign at the Gay Liberation Monument in Christopher Park at Sheridan Square. It wasn’t just some random symbolic gesture, but in honor of the fact that on that day in Miami Beach, Leslie Cohen and Beth Suskind, the two women who posed for the sculpture, by George Segal, in fact did finally get married. The newlyweds, who now live in Florida, have known each other for 50 years and have been a couple for 39 years.
