Governor Paterson: Gay Marriage Will Pass in New York in Coming Weeks

New York Gov. David Paterson says he expects to sign a same-sex marriage bill into law in the coming weeks. Paterson says he expects the state Senate to give the measure final legislative approval in the coming weeks and then he will sign it. That would make New York the seventh state to legalize same-sex marriage. Paterson can’t force the Senate to take up the bill and admitted to reporters he can’t guarantee its approval, but he says he’s now confident it will pass, as advocates and sponsors of the bill in Albany have been quietly working to build support.
