New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed the state's marriage equality bill hours after it passed the Republican-controlled Senate on Friday night, making it the sixth state in the nation to legalize same-sex marriage.
Cuomo signed the bill into law after the legislature cleared the way to legalize same-sex marriage with a 33-to-29 vote, the first time a state legislature with a Republican majority has approved such a bill.
Opponents insist that such a measure will undermine marriage and families. Because of course heterosexuals have done so much with that. Giving people who love each other a chance to marry and have families of their own undermines nothing--it simply gives them the same chance to show their commitment to one another in the same way everyone else does--with the same risks and the same rewards. Hear, hear, New York!
