 Vent After Prop 8 Ruling

Cynthia Nixon and Cheyenne Jackson are venting their frustration at
 New York's rejection of gay marriage after a federal judge struck
down Prop 8.

Both openly gay celebrities say they wish to marry in New York.

But despite strong public support, the New York Senate last year
 rejected a gay marriage bill endorsed by the governor and
 approved
 by the Assembly.

On Wednesday, California's gay marriage ban, known as
 Proposition 8, was declared unconstitutional by a federal judge.

Broadway star Jackson called the ruling a “giant step forward,”
 while Sex and the City 3 star Nixon said, “It's a beautiful day 
in California today,” according to gay glossy The Advocate.

Both actors went on to vent their frustrations at New York's 
foot dragging on the issue.

“Now come on, home state of New York,” Jackson added.
 “We all know that you're the 'concrete jungle where dreams
 r made of,' so make mine come true and take the necessary 
steps to allow me to make it legal with my man. Step up,
 we believe in you.”

“New York,” Nixon said, “is hoping to bask in some of that
 sunshine before too long.
