The New York State Senate gave us a present for Pride Weekend. Marriage Equality is now on the books in New York, effective in 30 days. It didn't come without strings, however. It includes a religious exemption. Quite frankly, the bigots hiding behind their religion didn't really need the exemption, but it did get the bill passed.
New York becomes the sixth state with Marriage Equality on the books. New Jersey and Maryland didn't make it this year, and we're still waiting on the court decision on Prop 8 in California.
There is a long road ahead of us, but for today, we celebrate!
