Same-sex marriage split

posted May 14, 2009 at 4:16 PM

According to a Q Poll out today, New Yorkers are split 46-46 on whether the state should make same-sex marriage legal. The tide seems to be shifting in favor of same-sex marriage, though -- a Q poll from five years ago reported that New Yorkers were against the idea 55-37. Also: FiveThirtyEight has a count of where the state Senate stands on the issue.

I'm glad to see my Senator is on the list. I wish the count wasn't so tight though. Have they scheduled a vote in the Senate yet?

Having a child is indeed a second shot or at least a reminder of the magic of childhood. I thought of this yesterday and my 4 year old and myself rode figure 8's and generally raced all around the now empty parking lots of Sage, Albany College of Pharmacy and OPWDD on our BMX bikes. So many childhood 'far away' journeys are actually so close.
