More New York Stories

How much was it worth to the NY state senators to prevent marriage equality?

$210 million dollars.

The weird part is, under New York law, same-sex marriages from other states where it's legal are recognized in New York. Somehow those marriages don't undermine marriage.

The weirdest part is this quote from the state senator who crossed the aisle to vote with the Republicans, then crossed back, then crossed over again on the marriage vote: (emphasis added)

"Two adults who are consenting and who are like-minded and within their mental capacities should be allowed to be with each other. I think it's an outrage." - Anti-marriage equality NY Sen. Hiram Monserrate, clearly oblivious to the meaning of hypocrisy, complaining that a court order prevents him from seeing the woman whose face he slashed with a broken glass.
