Now we are six

With Governor Lynch's signature, New Hampshire became the sixth state to allow same-sex marriages. How much farther behind can New York fall?

Call your state Senator (you can find out who your Senator is at the NY Senate website). Tell your friends to call their state Senators. If your Senator is on board, call to thank him/her. If not, call to lobby for a "yes" vote on S.4401, the marriage equality bill.

There are only a few short weeks left in the legislative session. There is no time to waste.

One more note that should be passed on to many Republican Senators -- as long as this issue is unresolved, it will be a campaign issue. While the state (and your district) might be split, the people who are more likely to go to the polls on election day are the ones riled up by this issue. Vote yes this year, and your job will actually be a lot safer after next year.
