NY Assembly passes same-sex marriage bill

Go Team Sodomy! NY is trying to become the third state to allow gay marriage without going through the courts, but there's still some work to be done.

The fight to legalize gay marriage will now go to the Democratically controlled Senate where Majority Leader Malcolm Smith has said he will not bring the bill to the floor until he is sure he has the votes. Smith reiterated his personal support for gay marriage in a statement released earlier today. Word is that supporters of the bill in the Senate need to win around five votes to secure it’s passage.

Those five votes are most likely upstate in the BlueDog areas. Will it happen? Honestly I don't know, but here's the link for the NY State Senate: http://www.nysenate.gov/

Harass whomever you see fit to receive an email or phone call. FWIW, the NY Times identified Vincent L. Leibell and James S. Alesi as two of the most crucial swing-voters.
