In fact, he does not want the NY Senate to waste its time on gay marriage. As is always the case with hard-liners like him, he has gay 'friends' and 2 gay brothers. A fascinating portrait, and one that's all too familiar for me personally growing up with people like this. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/10/nyregion/10marriage.html?hp Senator Rubén Díaz Sr. wears his “No” vote proudly on his sleeve.

I hope it happens. I hope the "pro-family" types don't all come out like so many cockroaches and force a vote "by the people," which never includes us. Movement's good, though. Thank you, Governor Paterson. I am, like, roller coaster sick over this–excited and scared and elated all at once. I hope it happens.
