Log Cabin Republicans: Victory in New York

Yes, another post about Gay Marriage...this one I couldn't pass up, because as you readers well know, My Small Gay World isn't really supportive of the Log Cabin Republicans, and so this is more about them, than gay marriage.

Yesterday the New York State Legislature assembly passed a bill that would make same-sex marriage possible. Of course, a lot of this was voted on party lines, with most Republicans voting against it. However, with a heavy lobbying effort on the part of Log Cabin Republicans, they were able to get four Republicans to vote for the bill. No easy task, but it did make New York the first state to pass a same-sex marriage act with bipartisan support. Although California's assembly and senate have both voted for gay marriage (later to be vetoed by Arnold), not a single Republican in California voted for the measures.

So, although we're still a bit leery about the efficacy of the Log Cabin Republicans, in this case they've proved themselves well, and we wish them tons of luck working with the NY Senate's Republicans...they'll need it!
