New York Governor Andrew Cuomo signed a Bill into law that allows same-sex couples to marry in the State of New York, just minutes before the end of Friday, a move that will go into effect one month after its signing, and will make New York the largest u.s. State in the United States.
Supporters of the measure praised the new law as a potential progressive victory in the debate on the Senate floor and Governor Cuomo mentioned by political saying, "the other States look to New York for progressive direction. What we said today, we look to New York once again. New York made a strong statement, not only for the people of New York, but people of the whole of this nation. "
Two Republicans who had previously voted against same-sex marriage, voted in favour of the law, Stephen Saland and Mark Grisanti, says that their tanks had been changed through support from the public and lack of "legal arguments" against the issue of gay marriage. The law was passed by the New York Senate 33-29, with four Republicans voting for. Opponents slammed the Republican case for members of the Senate, defying his former faith, who reported that same-sex marriage has been criticized by a majority of the American public when investigated, and the national organization of marriage slammed the new law, saying that the Republicans had lost confidence in the people they represent in New York to "facilitate" Governor Cuomo presidential aspirations.
President Obama did not really voice their support for the new law, but has made several fundraising efforts to include the gay rights community in the earliest days of his 2012 re-election campaign. Those who discussed the matter in New York largely called the question "is a matter of conscience".
