ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) - A veteran Republican senator tells The Associated Press he will vote yes on gay marriage, apparently giving the measure the support it needs to become law.
Sen. Stephen Saland (suh-LAND') says he has long been undecided. He voted against a similar bill in 2009, helping kill the measure and dealing a blow to the national gay rights movement.

Homosexuals and those who support their lifestyle want to bring America down. The GOP is no better than dems. NY deserves what it already has and will get in the future.
Anybody catching the argument going on now?
You can come out the closet now.
kommie.
There are FReepers that live in NY. Do they deserve what they get?

Oh no. This is terrible news. What is wrong with these idiots??? What is wrong with them? Bribery? Blackmail? Ignorance? If every single politician barring about 5 of them were replaced with random people out of the phone book, we'd have much better quality people in gov. This is repulsive. What this means AFAIAC is that it's going to have to hit rock bottom before turning in the right direction. Really bad news.
Yep. It’s gonna pass. =(
“Republican Senator Saland throws his support to gay marriage. “I have to define doing the right as treating all persons with equality.” “I certainly am in peace with my vote.”
He’s the 32nd vote.
They can move. Why would a conservative want to live somewhere like that? Or MA? Or CA? High taxes, high cost of living, perverts running the state. Why live in a place like that?
One thing they made certain was they weren’t going to let the VOTERS decide. Just like in Massachusetts, where the legislators whooped it up after disallowing a voter initiative to go through.
Too much money involved. Gays are among the most affluent constituencies out there, especially in the NY metro area, and they spread it around.
This is what finances the so-called “Gay Mafia”.
All I can say to New York is,”WELCOME TO HELL!”
Just passed and not even close. 36-26
Quite frankly, the voters in NY would pass gay marriage. This was really our only chance.
At least CT was honest about it. The court imposed it on us, and if you damned conservatives and religious people didn't like it TOUGH!
I guess if I'm going to live in a totalitarian state, I'd just prefer they be up front about it and stop making like we the people have a say.
That's one of the dumber things that posters say. It's so easy to sell a house, uproot everyone and find jobs elsewhere because the economy is booming, right?
This is all predicted in the Bible. We’re one day closer to Paradise!
Same here ni Los Angeles ... non-stop story. But I suppose that is to be expected here.
I thought what they just passed was the religion exemptions.
Or they can stay where they are and enjoy living in a state where perverts run the show. Doesn’t really matter to me.
