Paterson on Gay Marriage

There was a light moment during Gov. David Paterson’s Red Room press conference during an exchange about the possibility of a gay marriage vote coming up in the Senate.

When asked by New York Times reporter Jeremy Peters about whether the path is clear for a vote in the Senate, Paterson said:

“I’ve had my legislation ready since late April. So it won’t because of our legislation that we wouldn’t get a vote on marriage equality. What I would say is that it is on the special session calendar. We are in special session. We have cleared the roadblocks away. The fact that the marriage equality somehow was manipulated into being part of the DRP program is something that I think is reprehensible.
