Advocate Article on NYS gay marriage





A recent Advocate article on NYS gay marriage was recently in the advocate and on their website.

The article mentions how with the stepping down on Rep. senate majority leader Bruno, and the elections to be held soon in Nov. that the chances of NYS senate passing the same sex marriage bill is very hopeful. (The bill already passed the assembly last year and Patterson already stated that he would "absolutely" sign the bill should it make it to his desk")

Bottom line... If the same sex marriage bill can get passed in the state senate then it is a GO.

To do that, the democrats need to take just 2 seats in Novemberto take over the majority or hope for some nice republicans to take Bruno's spot.

The other thing to remember is that over half the republicans in the senate now are over 65 so how many of them are going to want to run for re-election in Nov.?

This nov. election should be an interesting one. Not just the Presidential election.
