    Paterson says gay marriage bill will pass in NY

    If this indeed happens it will place NYS as a leader of an important, long delayed civil rights movement.

    Paterson says gay marriage bill will pass in NY

    The Associated Press, Updated: October 22, 2009, 10:47 PM

    New York Gov. David Paterson says he expects to sign a same-sex marriage bill into law in the coming weeks.

    Paterson says he expects the state Senate to give the measure final legislative approval in the coming weeks and then he will sign it. That would make New York the seventh state to legalize same-sex marriage.

    Paterson's statements to the Empire State Pride Agenda fall dinner in Manhattan on Thursday come as advocates and sponsors of the bill in Albany have been quietly working to build support. The bill was blocked by a coup in the Senate in the final days of the regular session in June.

    The Democrat-led Assembly has already passed the measure.

    Paterson says he will place the bill on the agenda for a special session in the weeks ahead.

    Village bigot (& idiot)?

    "Cgood" has repeatedly flaunted the SUWNY 'tos' which states, "keep it civil or you will be booted".

    And his relentless raw bigotry, replete with spelling & grammar errors indicative of a 3rd grade education (or less?), has effectivley driven away any potential poster who is GLBT, or their family & friends who love them . . while painfully illustrating massive brain-drain in Bflo & WNY.

    Its not pretty!

    Not that anyone can speak for Cgood,, let me see if I can translate..

    NY is going down the proverbial tubes, and passing the Gay marriage law would seem somewhat less significant to the loss of population and jobs. A large, growing and devastating deficit notwithstanding.

    If you really think people like Cgood drove away citizens from this area, then color me confused. I thought it was Pols, special interest and unions that make this place inhospitable to investment ad nauseum.?

    Well let's do some math here. It take 32 votes in the Senate to pass a bill, currently their are only 26.... so NO it won't pass.

    Good old Kern can't stop with the "gay" themed threads and posts. Why not just admit it and move on? A guy your age shouldn't have to keep things all bottled up inside, Dick.

    This is simply a Patterson smoke screen. If he can get people to focus on the ridiculousness of his proposal then they'll quit talking and thinking about what a miserable job he's done.
    He could care less about the actual issue, he's looking for cover.

    Sorry, but I don't think this is a "Patterson smoke screen". He announced that he would push for this as soon as the Democrats won the state senate in November. Most of the legislators who support this bill are urban Democrats, and most who oppose it are rural/suburban/upstate Republicans. I doubt that Cuomo, his likely primary opponent, will oppose this bill, so Patterson gains nothing electorally by supporting this bill except to do something that he thinks is right. If he was seeking an electoral advantage on this issue, he'd oppose gay marriage and try to get votes from the anti-gay crowd.

    Here's my answer... who the hell cares.. Why the state burdens us to the point people moving out of state and businesses struggling the gay marriage issue is a waste of time.

    Maybe if the law makers get their heads out of their asses and actually worked NYS could be the power house it should be.

    First Amendment rights are like muscles, if you don't exercise them they will atrophy.
