: The Faculty LoungeNew York Thinking About Legalizing Same-Sex Marriage
By Laura Appleman
Today's New York Times notes that Governor Paterson is planning to submit a bill legalizing same-sex marriage:
Mr. Paterson?s plans represent the most public effort yet by the
governor, who has been a consistent supporter of gay rights, to
position himself and New York at the crest of a broadening national
movement.
However, even with a Democratic NY Congress, the bill's passage is far from assured:
The governor also risks alienating socially conservative voters at a time when he can least afford to drive away any more support.
On the heels of the Iowa Supreme Court decision overturning the ban on same-sex marriage and the Vermont Legislature's override of a veto banning such marriages, clearly Paterson is hoping to capitalize on the current momentum to pass the bill. Although nothing is guaranteed, it is certainly a step in the right direction!
