All right, TWO team: so in case you’ve been vacationing on Mars these past few months, New York state is a hairsbreadth from legalizing marriage equality. Of course, the anti-LGBT religious wingnuts over at the National Organization for (Discrimination in) Marriage, along with that state’s Catholic hierarchy, are working overtime to prevent that from happening.
And now it’s crunch time. The Marriage Equality Act is currently stalled in the Senate, whose legislative session was supposed to end today. However, voting on the Act has been postponed until tomorrow at the earliest. NOM just put out an “emergency alert” asking marriage equality opponents to flood key senate offices with calls opposing the Act and calling instead for another public referendum on basic rights.
Well, Maggie, two can play at that game. I visited NOM’s website so you don’t have to (you can thank me later) and pulled their list of targeted senators. The list is below. New Yorkers: please call every senator on this list and tell them to stand for justice for ALL by voting to pass the Marriage Equality Act (and if you’re in the Albany area, please strongly consider joining New Yorkers United for Marriage at a noon rally outside the Capitol).
Stephen Saland (518) 455-2411
Andrew Lanza (518) 455-3215
Mark Grisanti (518) 455-3240
Greg Ball (518) 455-3111
John Flanagan (518) 455-2071
Joseph Addabbo (518) 455-2322
Shirley Huntley (518) 455-3531
