Thank You, Governor Spitzer! Governor Spitzer Introduces Marriage Equality Legislation! Click the image below for a message from Pride Agenda Executive Director Alan Van Capelle about today’s historic introduction of a marriage equality bill by Governor Spitzer. (If you have difficulty with the video, scroll down and read the message below) Today, Governor Eliot Spitzer fulfilled his commitment to our community and announced that he is introducing a marriage equality program bill in the New York State Legislature. He is the first Governor in the country to take such a proactive step. Additionally, the New York State Dept. of Civil Service (part of the Spitzer Administration) said that all legal out-of-state marriages of LGBT state and local government employees will be respected. This means that same-sex spouses will now be eligible for the same medical, life insurance and long-term care benefits that are granted to all other spouses of state employees. This is a historic moment for LGBT New Yorkers. These announcements show us that our state is moving in the right direction! We should celebrate these victories and be proud to have a governor like Eliot Spitzer, but we must also keep in mind that the work to win marriage equality is far from done. Take a moment now and consider three ways you can help keep the momentum going and move our community closer to the day New York ’s LGBT families are treated equally: At the bottom of this message, you can thank Governor Spitzer for sticking to his principles and keeping his promise to LGBT New Yorkers.
