NY Marriage?

After the victory of the Gay Marriage ban in California, the Democratic victory in both houses of congress and the presidency opens the door for the enactment of gay-marriage in the state of New York.

New York’s senate, for instance, in overwhelmingly Democratic. This takes  away a clear obstacle for attaining gay Marriage in New York. There is however, a lot of work to be done, proponents admit.

During the times of Republican control of the NY senate, they blocked any attempt to allow marriage-equality. And even now, four democrats are thinking about aligning themselves with Republicans, cancelling out the thin Democratic majority (32-30).

Gay rights advocates acknowledge that any gay-marriage legislation would probably need to be bipartisan, and members of both parties think that the current economic crisis needs to be the legislature’s number one priority.
