One day left for New York marriage equality?

I’ve kept my expectations on this far in the basement, but then we hear from people like mayor Bloomberg saying he’s convinced the votes in the Senate are there, if only they bring it to a floor vote. One the one hand, I believe him. On the other hand, I cannot be surprised if the Republicans, suspecting it might actually pass, keep it from a vote. We now have only one day left, Monday, for this to pass. Maybe it would be done in the special session the governor says he’ll call to get the rent control law renewed, but maybe not. As I’ve come to view it for a long time now, I’ll believe it when I see it. Meanwhile, the archbishop of New York continues to refer to me marrying my partner as an “ominous threat” and immoral. This from a man who’s taken a vow of celibacy and whose function in life is to be a Vatican mouthpiece. Does he not know how hurtful it is to have your committed, till-death-do-us-part relationship referred to as a threat and a violation of nature? Even the intellectually gifted can be ignorant.]]>
