for the first time, in a very long time, i am proud to be from New York.


I'm overjoyed with the courage and ACTION Gov. Cuomo has lead and incited...

And I am both surprised and proud of the Republicans who have stood up for equality. May your actions and words lead this (long overdue) tide of change.

And may this be one more blow to DOMA; may this open the floodgates for federally recognised basic human right and federally granted equal rights under the law.

I'm not a marriage proponent in general, but what does matter to me is equal protection under the law and the right to do dumb shit just like anyone else. End the marginalization.

Wonderful news!! My iPod said Cuomo signed the legislation tonight. Was that right?

Angelika 06-24-2011 11:00 PM

I just read the same thing, but as far as I know the Senate and Assembly bills aren't reconciled. I'll keep you posted about whether the signing ceremony we were expecting on Sunday will still be happening.

Many apologies for the misinformation. Things move quickly in the land of the politicos. The information I got in the middle of the week about the signing ceremony on 5th Ave. was outdated by last night. I appreciate that the Governor didn't want us to wait one more day, but I was really excited about being present for the moment.

I was happy for you all, but disappointed for you as well. It would have been great to be present for that historic moment.

Happy Pride day!

Our Next Marriage Equality Fight: Repealing DOMA

Well said Senator Gillibrand!

Unless my English comprehension is failing me, and it can happen I am not a native North American, in the context of the article she does not say it has been repealed, but rather infers that Congress did the work with DADT (and they did since as you stated it needs certification by the White House and the Pentagon) and it should do the same work with DOMA. I think she is speaking about Congress, being that she is a Senator.

Of course that is my opinion based on reading the article.

Congrats to New York!

More and more I am considering moving to one of the states in the US that represents full citizenship. As I age, and even though I doubt I will ever legally marry, I find that it is getting more and more difficult to accept second class citizenship in my own country and state. Hopefully, here in CA, the appeals decision will be upheld on Prop 8 and same-sex marraige becomes legal once and for all (there is a pun within a pun in there)!

I don't want to die living somewhere that does recognize me a a full citizen. I really don't. I am so damn tired of this.
