The 33rd Senator just confirmed a YES vote
New York stands up for freedom !
************************************
Amendment has passed 36-26

The debate is currently proceeding on an amendment to provide protections for religious organizations and the assumption is if it passes the bill will too. The amendment would mean churches do not have to provide marriage services and church owned businesses to not have to provide ‘marriage related’ services.
