A group that opposes gay marriage promised to spend at least $2 million to oust seven state senators who changed their positions to make New York the sixth state where same-sex unions are legal.
The Washington-based National Organization for Marriage said in a fundraising email to supporters that it is committed to helping elect majorities in 2012 that support marriage as being between only a man and a woman.
“In order to change policy on marriage, we’re going to have to change personnel in Albany – starting with the turncoat senators who made promises to their constituents on marriage and then voted the opposite way,” President Brian Brown wrote.
A Washington-based organization meddling in New York politics. Isn’t that special?
I personally applaud those seven Senators for having the courage to do the right thing. I wish someone would stand up to the National Organization for Marriage and tell them to stop interfering in New York politics.
