Governor Spitzer introduced a bill to legalize gay marriage last year, which was passed by New York’s Democratic-led Assembly, but the Republican-led Senate has yet to call a vote on it. In response to the two-week-old decision by the California Supreme Court, Governor Paterson’s legal counsel issued a directive to state agencies to begin revising their policies to recognize legal unions performed in other states. So far there is no sign of any Republican challenge to the directive.
Given that California is now set to begin issuing marriage licenses on June 17th, twelve days before Pride festivities in New York and San Francisco, what do you want to bet the co-habitating boys from the five boroughs and Long Island will be registering at Bloomie’s and booking tickets out West any second. Invitations to intimate receptions for friends and family are probably already being prepared. Check your email.
