New York Allows Same-Sex Marriage

[Amander123]

This happened over here in the USA a couple months ago and I was so excited I was also surprised to see that a few Republicans actually voted in favor of same-sex marriage.

 

Only 5 states (Connecticut, Iowa, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Vermont, as well as the District of Columbia) have same-sex marriage legalized but New York is now the largest state to have it.

 

I feel that this is a great accomplishment in a sense that New York is a heavily populated and influential state. Not just influential in America, but also other countries as well. So with this passing I'm hoping that other states soon follow

 

This is just one more step towards worldwide acceptance of the gay and lesbian community.

It would be great if in each country gay marriages would be allowed at least in 1 city, so that gay people from every country would have the possibility to get married if they want to. :hamtaro-005 (6):
