“There are people who have said that I’m being brave for being openly supportive of gay marriage, gay adoption, basically of gay rights but with all due respect I humbly dissent, I’m not being brave, I’m being a decent human being. And I don’t think I should receive an award for that or for merely stating what I believe to be true, that love is a human experience not a political statement, however, I acknowledge that sadly we live in a world where not everybody feels the same. My family and I will help the good fight continue until that long awaited moment arrives, when our rights are equal and when the political limits on love have been smashed.”

That is the sound of traditional marriage not collapsing.

Breaking News of the Day: The New York Senate tonight passed the controversial Marriage Equality Act after the crucial 32nd, and 33rd, votes were secured.
New York thus becomes the 6th state to legalize same-sex marriage, with the other five being Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont, Connecticut, and Iowa. (Same-sex marriage is also legal in the District of Columbia.)
Republican holdouts Sens. Steve Saland (R-Poughkeepsie) and Mark Grisanti (R-Buffalo), persuaded by the act’s religious protections, were responsible for contributing the decisive 32nd and 33rd votes; Sen. Greg Ball (R-Putnam), one of the fence-sitting Republicans who solicited opinions from his constituents via Twitter, decided earlier tonight to vote no.
