N.Y. ATTORNEY GENERAL SUPPORTS SSM: From GAGVNews

Politics took an unexpectedly prominent position at the Gay Alliance's Equality Leadership Conference on Nov. 6 at the Burgundy Basin Inn, as N.Y.S. Attorney General Eliot D. Spitzer responded to a statement of support for his potential campaign for governor of New York.

Spitzer, keynote speaker at the conference, said that he will announce soon whether he will join the gubernatorial race, and reiterated his unqualified support for marriage equality for lesbian and gay couples. ...

Spitzer said that his position on same sex marriage is that New York State must permit full marriage equality. "There's no question in my mind," he said. "New York State law must permit gay and lesbian marriage. That's the only thing that's fair. We have work to do and a long way to travel." He said that he foresees a victory in New York within the next five or six years. "It will take longer in the heartland. But we will continue to make our case and we will win this battle."
