Re: Should Civil Unions Be Legalized?
Surprising, the quotes from NY legislators:
“I cannot deny a person, a human being, a taxpayer, a worker, the people of my district and across this state, the State of New York, and those people who make this the great state that it is the same rights that I have with my wife.”
- Mark J. Grisanti, a Republican from Buffalo who had sought office promising to oppose same-sex marriage, but voted for the measure after months of "agonizing" consideration.
“God, not Albany, has settled the definition of marriage, a long time ago.”
- Rubén Díaz Sr. of the Bronx, the only Democratic senator to cast a no vote.
