I understand that there were 4 senators that changed positions but it remains that people voted for 29 other state senators that explicitly supported it. They also voted for all those state representatives that supported it since - let’s not forget - it sailed through the assembly a few times without much opposition at all.
The people have been voting for reps that openly supported SSM for a long time. Once the margins get that close party discipline will fail on both sides (some Democrats bailed) and a few marginal votes will shift either way. That’s a standard of politics no matter the issue.
People should not have been surprised.
The traitors have been bought! I’m glad it’s coming out more and more. Sen. McDonald, btw, has been receiving $$ from around the country.

One time I saw a same-sex couple making out in a subway car. I moved to a different car.
I told this incident to my girlfriend, and SHE called me a HOMOPHOBE.
When a decent straight woman, can side with THEM against her boyfriend, THEY have won!
