Mr. Spitzer acknowledged that he did not expect the bill to legislative power of the state and returned to his office any time soon. Earlier this week, he said, it would be the entire proposal “because it is a statement of principle that I believe, and I would like first of all that dynamic.”
Only Massachusetts currently allows gay marriages, following a 2004 court decision. Many countries have taken steps to the legal ban on trade unions of these provisions or ballot initiatives, but Mr. Spitzer is the only country in the Governor to propose legislation to formally legalize such marriages.
Regardless of whether the bill passes in recent weeks of the session of the legislative process, Mr. Spitzer is probably the proposal to ensure that same-sex marriage to a direct question at Albany in a way they never had before.
Many members of the State Legislature has never taken a position on the issue, which is difficult to avoid, with the governor, the bill now reality. It was therefore not surprising that the proposal to resume immediately, which was a bitter and emotional debate.
Überschwenglich Gay rights have been supportive in his praise. “Promise, promise kept,” said State Senator Thomas K. Duane, Democrat of Manhattan, has several bills, among others this year.
Opponents in accordance with, especially in the ranks of religious conservatives. State Senator Sr. Rubén Díaz, a Democrat and a Bronx Pentecostal minister, said that the Governor’s proposal is “a slap in the face for millions of New Yorkers, moral support, legal and traditional definition of marriage between a man and a woman.”
A spokesman for the New York State Catholic Conference, the Catholic church’s official public order in the state of arms, so that the New York bishops would be strongly opposed the proposal.
“The governor said that on Day 1, everything changes. But we do not believe that the society of the traditional definition of marriage and morality, “said the spokesman, Dennis Poust.” We believe that in its first year and trying to overthrow the basic module the company is the summit of arrogance. ”
It was Mr. Spitzer’s foray into this last week in the highly ideological nature, red meat and it had largely avoided during his first months in office. It was also a series of proposals he recently met with a real cold reception of one or both houses of the legislature.
