Last night, the New York state legislature voted to legalize same sex marriage. Governor Andrew Cuomo signed the bill into law just before midnight. Celebrations began immediately.
Less than an hour after the New York legislature passed a marriage equality bill 33 to 29 during a late session on Friday, Twitter started filling up with messages about how the Empire State Building had “gone rainbow.” “OK, pictures of rainbow Empire State Building are getting me misty,” screenwriter Diablo Cody wrote. “A rainbow shines on the Empire State and the Empire State building tonight!,” another tweet read. And another: “Empire state building goes rainbow. Go us!”

It’s surprisingly easy. The Daily News took fraudulent possession over the building within 90 minutes. All you need is some paperwork and then it’s easy to get the deed. With the deed, you can sell it, get a mortgage or just burn the deed while laughing maniacally. How fun!
