New York’s Marriage Bill’s Future Murky At Best - Lez Get Real

A recent NY1 poll of the 62 State Senators in New York has shown that the bill which will grant same-sex couples marriage rights in the Empire State is on shaky ground. Current numbers indicate that the bill might not pass if it does come up for a vote in the State Senate. The State Assembly passed the bill earlier this year. The bill requires thirty-two to vote yes on the bill, and currently there are only twenty firm yes votes out there. Currently, there are twenty-eight who plan to vote ‘no’. All of the yes votes come from the Democrats while twenty-two Republicans and six Democrats are firmly against this bill.
