There are very few votes that are this important to the LGBT community. New York Democrats, who are happy to take our money, our endorsements, and our volunteers, have seldom been asked to take difficult votes on behalf of the community. This bill was one of those rare opportunities to do so and many of our "friends" did not support us. I'm sure the Empire State Pride Agenda will make sure that these folks remember this next year when they come looking for dollars and votes.
