From CNN:
New York (CNN) -- New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo proposed a bill Tuesday that would legalize same-sex marriage, effectively delivering on a promise he has made since taking office in January.
The Marriage Equality Act would grant same-sex couples equal rights to marry "as well as hundreds of rights, benefits and protections that are currently limited to married couples of the opposite sex," according to a news release from Cuomo's office.
In a statement accompanying the release, Cuomo said the state has "been on the right side of history," citing such civil rights battles as women's suffrage.
"But on the issue of marriage equality, our state has fallen behind," he said.
If the episcopacy in NY wishes to retain a modicum of credibility before the flock, severe action must (finally) be taken against Cuomo's numerous and scandalous slaps at the Church. Enough is enough.
