New York State’s legislature rejected a bill to allow gay marriage in the state on Wednesday. The bill died in the state Senate, with 24 “yea” votes and 38 “Eh, fugget-about-it” votes.
New York is generally considered welcoming to gays, especially New York City, which even named one of its boroughs Queens.
Apparently, when state lawmakers had said before the vote that they support gay causes, they just meant Broadway.
Over the last several years, it seemed as though New York’s citizens had given more support to gays, and lesbians in particular, as evidenced when they elected Hillary Clinton to the Senate.
