New York State Senate Votes Down Gay Marriage Bill: "The State Senate defeated a bill on Wednesday that would legalize same-sex marriage, after an emotional debate that touched on civil rights, family and history. The vote means that the bill, pushed by Gov. David A. Paterson, is effectively dead for the year and dashes the optimism of gay rights advocates, who have had setbacks recently in several key states."
Shaker BoldMatter emails: "12,000 people watched the debate online which included some amazingly heartfelt and stirring personal accounts from various senators on the need for Marriage Equality. It was voted defeated 24 to 38."
I can't even muster a good thought about time being on our side at the moment. This is just bullshit, and I'm pissed and disappointed.
Fuck I'm tired of bigots.
