Marriage off his mind

Is Nyack Mayor John Shields back on the market? Looks that way.

tjndc5-5dr1akgoea8n3kw3818_layout1.jpgThe 64-old mayor, whose hobbies include cooking, working out and resolving parking conflicts, was featured in a photo in a recent singles-themed issue of New York magazine. In the photo, Shields is standing at a phone booth and an arm is extended over his head, holding a small white board that gives his email with the text “dinner & conversation.”

In 2004, Shields and his partner Bob Streams famously sued the state and the Orangetown Town Clerk for the right to get married. Shields also led a group of same-sex couples dubbed “The Nyack 10″ in that lawsuit, which they lost.

Asked about the photo, Shields replied: “Let me put it to you this way. I’m single.”
