NY Not Ready To Pass Gay Marriage

..

---With Maine and New Hampshire the latest states to pass same-sex marriage legislation - many here are wondering why it's taking so long for New York to move forward with its gay marriage bill. Senate Majority Leader Malcolm Smith says New York will eventually catch up to the others, but thinks it wise to wait for now.

The Marriage Equality Bill is expected to pass the Assembly, but its fate is uncertain in the Senate where Democrats have a slim majority of two and one Democrat - Rubin Diaz of the Bronx - is a highly vocal opponent of the legislation.--
