If you live in New York state, give your senator a call right now. You can watch the marriage equality debate live here.
UPDATE: The bill lost, 24-38. The only senator to speak out against it was Ruben Diaz Sr; all the other no-voting cowards and bigots stayed silent. Eight New York Democrats — Addabbo, Aubertine, Diaz, Huntley, Kruger, Monserrate, Onorato, and Stachowski — voted no. And yes, that is Democrat Hiram Monserrate, famous for slashing his girlfriend’s face with a piece of broken glass. Those are some morals. It’s also worth noting that while some of the most moving speeches on the Senate floor were given by senators of color and Jewish senators, many of whom referenced their own histories and oppressions, the majority of the “no” votes came from white dudes.
This is such an incredible disappointment.
