With same-sex marriage on the brink of passage in Albany today, helpfully rounds up where Brooklyn's State Senators stand.
Eric Adams, who represents Windsor Terrace, fully supports it.
Says Adams:
I believe that no legal status, no rights, no benefits, no privileges, and no protections relating to marriage should differ based upon the gender of the parties involved.
The unfairness inherent in depriving same-sex couples of this fundamental justice undermines the stability of family relationships, creates in every sense a second-class citizenry, and weakens our society. I will vote in favor of a gay marriage bill because I believe that gay couples desire exactly the same type of committed relationship as do straight couples, and that relationship, marriage, is a basic human right.
