New York governor to propose legalizing same-sex marriage

New York governor to propose legalizing same-sex marriage

  • Story Highlights
  • Assemblyman says governor's office asked him to attend announcement of bill
  • Previous governor filed same bill, which passed Assembly but not Senate
  • Gov. Paterson has said he is committed to "full marriage equality in New York State"
  • "We hope to have this bill passed at the end of June," assemblyman says
If the legislation passes, it would make New York the fifth state to legalize same sex-marriage. Similar measures have been approved by courts or lawmakers in Connecticut, Vermont, Massachusetts and Iowa.

It would be nice to see NY do the right thing here, and give people a reason to come here, rather than leave for a change.
