As a 65 year old mom of a gay son, I ask for support. My son is so wonderful in every way...give him and others like him your support. If everyone knew a gay person personally as family or friend, there would be no question about support. Know this: one in every 7 human beings in gay. If you do not know this in your friendship group or family it is because the person fears your reaction!!

New Yorkers for Marriage Equality We cannot let our guard down. We need to keep up the constant pressure. The State Senate is in a bind of whether or not to bring the bill to a vote at all. If we make enough calls, the vote will happen. Call today, call tomorrow and keep calling until we have a vote and equality for all. Visit nyequality.com to make the call.

YES WE CAN! If we learned anything from the Obama campaign, it's that wins don't happen by talking, they happen by doing. We ALL need to make calls until they vote. We ALL need to get every last one of our friends involved. Suggest this page to friends to keep our voice growing.

someone should remind him that the same christian religion he believes in and uses as an excuse for his bigotry also use to believe that slavery was ok, and that black people shouldn't be able to marry white people.

New Yorkers for Marriage Equality MUST WATCH: Speaker Quinn calls the Senate to vote for ME and is almost in tears: "This
is literally a moment where people can stand up and say that
everybody's family matters. That everybody's home is a blessed place,
and that everybody has the same rights. You don't get a lot of times in
life when you get to do that."

At a press conference on November 9th, Speaker Christine C. Quinn was asked about the gay marriage bill that was put on the agenda for a vote by the New York State Senate.

New Yorkers for Marriage Equality Victories in WA State and Kalamazoo, MI for gay rights. Not so much in Maine, but don't get defeated. Pam Spaulding writes: "Because I refuse to view last night as a loss. Any time that we can
stand up and fight and educate people about our rights is never a loss." Rest of the post is a MUST READ.

Last night, while we did not get all that we wanted in Maine, it was very close. In these votes over marriage equality, the opposition may have crossed the finishing line before we did 31 times but every time we get just a little closer.
