Thanks, FAU

Also from the article...

"Senate Majority Leader Malcolm Smith, a Queens Democrat, supports the gay marriage bill but has not allowed a vote because he thinks it will be defeated.

"This is an issue that demands much more than a symbolic gesture," Smith spokesman Austin Shafran said.

Josh Meltzer, a spokesman for the Empire State Pride Agenda, said the organization is proud to have Paterson's support."
