Gay Marriage Bill APPROVED

Gay Marriage Bill APPROVED: New York Gay Marriage Bill APPROVED By Senate: A bill permitting same-sex marriage was passed by the New York state legislature on midnight on the 24th, and the law will take effect 30 days later.

The New York State Senate has voted to allow gay marriage, leaving only what is expected to be a swift approval from the governor as the last step before the state becomes the sixth and largest in America to allow men and women to marry people of the same sex.

In 2009, the senate was controlled by Democrats, who in other states have usually viewed gay marriage more favourably than Republicans.
