The New York state legislature, after a long delay, voted against marriage equality 24-38. No Republicans voted for the measure.
The defeat makes it likely that the New Jersey state legislature will either not vote or will also vote in the negative.
There were a few beautiful speeches, though, and at least one undecided voter who voted yes, Sen. Ruth Hassell-Thompson.
We’ll have more soon.
