MikeBad news from my state: the NY Senate has voted down a same-sex marriage bill that would have allowed gay marriage in the state.
The bill was also voted down by a wider margin than expected– 38 to 24.
One of the state senators who supported the bill, Tom Duane, the first openly gay on the NY State Senate, had this to say:
“There’s never a good time for civil rights. There’s never, ever, ever, ever a good time for civil rights. I know. I get that. But the paradox is, it’s always the time to be on the right side of history.”
