Today is indeed a great day for many who could not exercise the same rights as heterosexual couples in NY to finally have the ability to legally marry their loved ones restoring their civil rights to be treated fairly and equally in the eyes of the law.

Thank you the NY State Assembly, those who voted to make history on this important issue of equality.

Thank you Governor Cuomo for leading a hard fought behind close door negotiation to make this happen.

Thank you President Obama for orchestrating the NY Governor's election that paved the way for Governor Cuomo to run for the Governorship when there was deep concern about former Governor Paterson’s ability to hold on to the office of the Governorship in 2009.

Better be careful insulting Maddow on this site, you will be tarred and feathered (electronically).

Obama doesn't want to alienate independent moderates and he doesn't want to alienate the LGBT community either.

So he obfuscates, he talks around the issue and he hopes no one notices that the fence is cutting into his crotch as he plays in both fields

actually I agree with Maddow ... a speech means nothing if not backed up with action. He has done nothing to remove DOMA which in of it's self is unconstitutional.

but he's not the first president to fence sit nor the last. Every president has on some issue.
