MARRIAGE EQUALITY SCORECARD
The first time marriage equality got a vote in the
Senate, in December 2009, it was defeated 38-24.
The tally of public supporters now stands at 26
all Democrats out of the 32 needed for passage.
All six Democrats first elected to the Senate in 2010support the measure.
According to statements on the record (to Gay
City News and/ or other media), two Democrats
who previously voted no Joe Addabbo and Shir-
ley Huntley of Queens and three Republicans in
the same category James Alesi of Fairport, Greg
Ball of Brewster, and Joseph Griffo of Utica arecurrently taking no public position on the marriage
bill.
The position of freshman Republican Jack Mar-
tins of Garden City is not fully clear from the public
record, and he did not respond to Gay City News
request for comment.
Republican Majority Leader Dean Skelos ofRockville Centre remains opposed to the bill, but a
spokesman for him said he expects the issue to
be brought before the Republican conference in the
coming weeks to determine whether it will get a
floor debate and vote, as Governor Andrew Cuomo
is urging.
Most Republicans who voted no in 2009 did notrespond to Gay City News request for comment this
week; those who did are noted.
