Labor Department hosts first rooftop same-sex wedding ceremony.

In the latest sign of just how far the administration has embraced same-sex marriage and the expansion of federal benefits to married gay couples, the Department of Labor headquarters building hosted a rooftop wedding between a worker and his partner Wednesday night.

Officials confirmed Thursday the wedding between a regional solicitor and his longtime mate. A reception in a conference room followed. No names were offered.

An official called it a “low-key” ceremony during which no federal funds were used. Labor Secretary Thomas Perez did not attend.

It is believed to be the first-ever same-sex marriage in a Cabinet-level headquarters building
