?The days of just bottling up things, and using these as excuses not to have votes ? as far as I?m concerned as leader, it?s over with,? said Mr. Skelos, a Long Island Republican who voted against the bill.

Thank you NY Republicans (4 voted for the bill despite primary threats from the Conservative Party), as well as NY Democrats. Without those votes, it doesn't pass. Sometimes bipartisan is more than just a word.

WaPo:

New York joins Connecticut, Iowa, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont and the District of Columbia in allowing gays to wed. A court challenge to a 2008 amendment to the California state constitution that banned gay marriage after a state Supreme Court ruling made it legal there is wending its way through the federal appeals court process. If marriage-equality proponents succeed in the Golden State, 23.3 percent of Americans will live in states where gay couples can legally wed.

Greg Sargent:

This is another major defeat for those self-described ?conservatives? who hate government except when it?s enforcing a form of legalized discrimination that comports with their prejudices. But this isn?t about them. It?s about everyone but them.
