Same-sex marriage in New York state: One more vote

The New York Times is reporting that New York is within a single vote of legalizing gay marriage. On Tuesday Sen. Roy J. McDonald said he would support the measure if it comes to the floor this week. The Senate count is now even at 31 of 62. One more vote is needed. The Assembly has already passed the measure several times and probably will again.

Andy at Towleroad.com is urging New Yorkers, especially those represented by the following senators, to call them to urge passage of marriage equality in the New York Senate.

Senator Gregory R. Ball of Putnam County (845) 279-3773

Senator Charles J. Fuschillo Jr. of Suffolk County (516) 882-0630

Senator J. Kemp Hannon of Nassau County (516) 739-1700

Senator Andrew J. Lanza of Staten Island (718) 984-4073

Senator Betty Little of Glens Falls (518) 743-0968

Senator Mark Grisanti of Erie County (518) 455-3240

Senator Stephen M. Saland of Poughkeepsie (845) 463-0840
