Trying again, NYS Marriage bill still alive and kicking

We will try again without having a weak Governor (at the time, dying now) push for a vote if we are not even close to having the votes.
The New York State Senate Judiciary Committee is taking up the governor’s gay marriage bill on Tuesday. After a grand introduction by Governor Paterson last week, the governor announced Wednesday he would defer to the state senate majority leader and not demand the bill receive a vote without knowing if there were enough votes to pass.

Perhaps not coincidentally, Tuesday is also the day of the Empire State Pride Agenda’s Equality & Justice Day.

A just-released poll determined a wide majority of New Yorkers favor passage of the gay marriage bill.
