Do you mean in New York City? What about New Paltz?-- Pharos 06:48, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
The NY Times is reporting that the Court rejected same-sex marriage. No article yet, it's just a breaking news headline. I threw this into the article, but will update it with more details as they are released. Liamdaly620 13:15, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
People have been looking for the vote count because it is hard to find online. I posted it on Wiki today, It would be nice if someone revised it in a table showing party affiliation and how each senator casted their vote. This information is paramount to the future of Marriage in the State of New York because it is the first time NYS senators are put on record for their stance on the issue. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.76.179.251 ( talk) 16:31, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

I concede that perhaps the vote count is not needed in the form of all caps, however a table displaying how each senator voted is indeed historic and extremely relevant to the decision yesterday. You had a large number of democrats vote down the measure, a key swing republican/democrat senator Monserrate of Jackson Heights make a swing vote against the measure, and Gov. David Paterson is out praising the historic record of a first time vote in NYS Senate. Advocates of Gay Marriage believe that now there is a "path" (Gov. Patersons words) on what votes need to be considered. I do not see how a wikipedia page on NYS Gay Marriage could leave out that important record. I urge you to reconsider. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nycutiepi ( talk • contribs) 16:51, 3 December 2009 (UTC)
That is true, I did research and found the vote count on nys senate's webpage http://open.nysenate.gov/legislation/api/html/bill/S66003, it is in all caps. But that again is an excuse for not allowing the posting of again material that is critical to the topic. The Governor of NYS as well as activists from leading groups in support of same sex marriage have outlined the significance of how senators voted, particularly the "swing senators" who were responsible for throwing the majority to the republicans this past summer. Opponents of the bill also point out that the fact that eight democratic senators (from nyc) having voted against the bill is again significant. By all means each side of this issue can agree that the vote count should be on record and should be public and I make my final request that it be included, perhaps in a form of a table outlining party affiliation (blue/red shading) as NYS Senate's wiki currently does. Again the webpage http://open.nysenate.gov/legislation/api/html/bill/S66003 has the official vote count as a primary source document. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.76.179.251 ( talk) 07:14, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
Here is the table based off the senate wiki...the table has the bill s66003 vote count referenced with its primary source document...I will leave it for an administrator to make the call if this table should be added.
I'm reading online (e.g., OutZone.com) that the NY House approved same-sex marriage legislation championed by Daniel O'Donnell, but that the NY Senate is expected to reject it. No mention in the article. Update? Even if it doesn't pass, a comprehensive article on the subject should mention the activity on the issue, seems to me. Lawikitejana 03:07, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
The lede in this article says that NY state recognizes same-sex marraiges performed elsewhere. However, when discussing the details, it mentions only that the state govt. will administrtavely recognize such marriages when making decisions about partner benefits for its pension plans. This is a far cry from actually recognizing these marriages as marriages under New York state law, which would carry with them a whole host of other rights and responsibilities involving tax law, spousal support, rights to private insurance, child custody, etc. If none of these are touched on by the NY state decision, then this really needs to be reworded. -- Jfruh ( talk) 23:03, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
Should be interesting to see what happens with all the inevitable appeals and subsequent court cases. New York is adjacent to three jurisdictions ( Ontario, Québec, Massachusetts) which perform actual marriages, so the issue will inevitably keep arising in court cases in various contexts. -- 66.102.80.212 ( talk) 02:34, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
The NY courts have now recognized same-sex marriages for purposes of inheritance and divorce (at least twice), and reportedly also adoption though I can't find the reference. I think this is cut-and-dried -- NY really is recognizing same-sex marriages from Canada, Massachusetts, etc. 67.241.26.34 ( talk) 06:23, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
The gratuituous, self-congratulatory remarks from Governor Paterson are inappropriate. They read more like advocacy than like an encyclopedia entry. If anyone believes that these remarks should be retained, please advise.

i have redacted the paterson reference and removed all but the pertinent statement. i think it is important as a promise which was made but is hard to find documented on the internet. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.15.30.166 ( talk) 18:53, 25 May 2008 (UTC) -- Pauljoffe
Thank you.

This term is POV. Groups/people on both sides of the issue may be pro-family or anti-family, depending on the POV. Gimmethoseshoes ( talk) 05:04, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
this is very out of date it mentions a vote planed for June 24 2009 it is august and the vote is expected in early September —Preceding unsigned comment added by The truth maker ( talk • contribs) 20:19, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
The claim made in the opening paragraph about the NY State Senate being more conservative than the population cites an opinion column from The Guardian. As there is no scientific data to support that claim aside from the results of one vote, I don't think that's a fair claim to make. Does anyone else feel the same way, or am I just reading too much into this? Marchoi ( talk) 03:30, 3 December 2009 (UTC)
According to http://www.statesthatallowgaymarriage.com/ New York was the SIXTH state to legalize same-sex marriage.
Should that be changed from "seventh" state on the page? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.153.102.75 ( talk) 15:40, 13 June 2014 (UTC)
