National Freedom to Marry Day

National Freedom to Marry Day is a non-official United States holiday held annually on February 12 to promote same-sex marriage. The holiday was founded in 1999 by Lambda Legal, a Washington, DC-based gay rights advocacy law firm.

The most notable National Freedom to Marry Day was February 12, 2004 when San Francisco, California mayor Gavin Newsom ordered his county clerk to revise marriage licenses to allow gay and lesbian couples to legally wed.
