Cross post from GD: About the Catholic Church and the New York Same sex Marriage law:

[hedgehog]

So my daughter who is active in Church affairs reads an interview in which her state senator says he is going to vote against the bill allowing same sex marriage in New York State because it conflicts with his catholic upbringing.

She contacts the Sisters she knows, and a bunch of them go down to Albany to talk to the man;

and, well,

In a showdown vote in the State Senate, which only two years ago handily rejected same-sex marriage, the measure passed, 33-29, when two Republican senators — including Buffalo freshman Sen. Mark Grisanti — switched long-held opposition to support in a dramatic Friday night session to give the bill two more votes than needed in the 62-member chamber.
