A bill to legalize same-sex marriage in New York passed the state senate 33-29. Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who proposed the legislation, is expected to sign it.
“New York has finally torn down the barrier that has prevented same-sex couples from exercising the freedom to marry and from receiving the fundamental protections that so many couples and families take for granted,” Cuomo, a Democrat, said in a written statement shortly after the vote.
With New York on board, that means there are 6 states down, and 44 to go.
