Report: Three New York Dems Say They Will Back Gay Marriage | Talking Points Memo

Three key New York Democrats in the state Senate reportedly said Monday that they will support marriage equality legislation, an important reversal for Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D), who is pushing to bring the measure up for a vote by the end of the week.According to New York Times sources, Sens. Joseph P. Addabbo, Jr., Shirley L. Huntley, and Carl Kruger — who all voted against gay marriage when it last came up for vote in 2009 — have all said they would support the measure this time. This leaves five Republicans still undecided, with 29 Democrats who say they will vote for the legislation. It needs 32 votes to pass.
