N.Y. Assemblywomen (Republican) Celebrate Same-Sex Weddings With Family
Two Republican Assembly members from northern New York celebrated same-sex weddings over the weekend.

The Adirondack Daily Enterprise reports that Glenn Sayward, son of Assemblywoman Teresa Sayward, married his longtime partner, Ben, in a ceremony Saturday evening at their Willsboro, N.Y., home.

According to Teresa Sayward, the affair was a small “recommitment” ceremony, as the couple had celebrated their union in a non–legally recognized ceremony seven years ago.

“In fact, that’s what the invitations that he sent out said. It didn’t say, ‘You’re invited to a wedding,’” Sayward told the Enterprise. “It simply said, ‘Making it legal.’”

2. How can you not like a state where even Republicans do things like that?
NY rocks. Actually, the entire Northeast rocks.

3. Good for Ms. Sayward
And may her attitude spread like a virus throughout her caucus and beyond. Maybe we can put this stupid non-issue behind us.
