NY Mayor Bloomberg Says Senate will Pass Gay Marriage Bill
New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg said Thursday in Albany that he believes the State Senate will pass a gay marriage bill if given the opportunity. “If this bill comes to the floor, and I expect it to do so, it will pass and it will have more than just the bare majority to pass,” Bloomberg said. Bloomberg’s remarks came during a news conference after he spoke before the State Senate Republican conference in support of the bill. The Assembly passed the bill Wednesday night, but the senate remained split 31-31.

[...] NY Mayor Bloomberg Says Senate will Pass Gay Marriage Bill UN Could OK Historic Gay Rights Resolution Friday Former NFL Player Warns of ‘Anarchy’ if Gay Marriage Legalized in US [...]
It is not so much a red banner day as a rainbow flag moment. Gays the world over should not be discriminated against, so says the United Nations in an historic moment, adopting a resolution supporting equal rights for gays. Did you hear that “Faggot” slurring sports stars and, yes, I am talking to you Tracey Morgan for whom this must be a bit of a ’stab in the heart’. But it is not just the law of the land; it is the understanding of the world. So if the United Nations can understand and facilitate such understanding…what is still wrong with this united nation known as the United States? Just how can we stand by the UN resolution without fully understanding the hypocrisy that still permeates this United…or not so united…States. We still have discrimination in the armed forces. (Sure, sure, committee after committee has to still weigh in on the ridding of DADT. Until then where are we?) Gay Weddings? Good for some in some states…intolerable to others in most states. This is simple discrimination. Let us learn from the resolution and have some truth in advertising for once. If we want to call ourselves the United States…can’t we just be United? Really!?!
