Well it's official! New York has become the sixth state in the United States to legalize gay marriage. New York's Republican controlled legislature has passed the vote with a 33-29 vote. This is the first time a republican controlled house has pass such a bill. New York is definitely sending a strong message with this historic bill for the state. Although it took much campaign from the GLBT community along with even an appearance from president Obama last night in Manhattan to sway some senators the right way.
With New York being the birth place for gay rights, this is a great way to kick off the pride celebration in New York as well. Gay couples will be able to marry within 30 days. Yay!! Let's hope there won't be a repeal campaign to follow like California.
