Tens of thousands of Christians filled several blocks in Manhattan Sunday during a protest against the legalization of gay marriage in New York.

The mostly Latino crowd, which included Democratic State Senator Ruben Diaz, Sr. of the Bronx, who is an evangelical minister, stretched from 35th to 40th Street on 3rd Avenue in New York City.

Protesters rallied outside the NYC office of Gov. David A. Paterson, who has been pushing passage of the Marriage Equality Act. As they sang and waved Bibles in the air, demonstrators spoke about the need to retain the traditional definition of marriage, according to WNYC New York Public Radio. the rest
