Marriage Equality New York is organizing several protests against senators who voted against equal marriage rights for same-sex couples. The protests follow a recent vote by the New York State Senate where same-sex marriage failed by a 38-24 margin.The protests are scheduled throughout the weekend. Activists are responding by supporting opposition (pro-equality) candidates for the upcoming 2010 election.
MENY Protests are against Senators Hiram Monserrate, Carl Kruger, George Onorato, and Thomas Morahan.
New York is the so-called Capital of the World. If anywhere should be leading the way for LGBT rights, shouldn't it be the great NY?
ReplyDeleteI have friends from NY State, and they have never felt out of place as a gay or lesbian person within their respective communities.
Come on NY, if enough people want change, then change will happen. I'd be there to support if I could.
It's interesting that people who used to be putting time and effort into electing these people are instead putting time and effort into protesting against them. I wonder if anyone in the media will catch onto this and the potential implications.
