Public Advocate Gotbaum on Governor Spitzer's Marriage Equality Legislation

 

 

MANHATTAN – "Every American deserves the right to marry and to receive the protections that marriage provides to couples and families. And yet, for too long, lesbian, gay, transgender and bisexual couples and individuals have been discriminated against. For several years I have been advocating for equality in marriage, and I applaud Governor Spitzer’s actions today. Now, all of us need work to move this legislation forward and give all New Yorkers equal rights."
