Gillibrand On Marriage Equality

by Patrick Appel
Empire State Pride Agenda's executive director, Alan Van Capelle says Gillibrand has changed her mind:

“After talking to Kirsten Gillibrand, I am very happy to say that New York is poised to have its first U.S. Senator who supports marriage equality for same-sex couples,” Van Capelle said in a statement released by the organization. “She also supports the full repeal of the federal DOMA (Defense of Marriage Act) law, repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell (DADT) and passage of legislation outlawing discrimination against transgender people. While we had a productive    discussion about a whole range of LGBT concerns, I was particularly happy to hear where she stands on these issues.”
