New York is going to be the first state to pass gay marriages and have the bill signed.
It passed the House today, and will probably pass the Senate sometime in the next term or two. Governor Sptizer also openly supports gay marriage.
The New York State Senate is Republican-controlled. Are they seriously going to pass a gay marriage bill?
Depends. The State Senate Democrats + Republicans from socially liberal areas could be just enough...
real question is, would the state senate leadership allow such a bill to get to that point...
