Rosie O’Donnell’s Gay Brother Weds
Danny O’Donnell, 51, New York state assemblyman and brother of Rosie O’Donnell wed John Banta, his spouse of 31 years, this past Saturday.
They were wed by Judith Kaye, former Chief Justice of the New York State Court of Appeals. The New York Daily News said that “according to one guest, Kaye joked that the wedding’s ‘special guest is the State of New York.’” She said this because attendees included Governor Andrew Cuomo, Senator Charles Schumer, New York Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver and other senior politicos.
Banta is the director of special events for the Metropolitan Opera, says On Top Magazine.
Queerty reports that ”Danny’s famous sister Rosie brought along her four kids and her new fiancee Michelle Rounds.”
For more about the nuptials, NY1 has a story about the wedding (with video).
