Governor Paterson Hopes to Legalize Same-Sex Marriage

David Paterson, Governor of New York, will introduce legislation this week to legalize same-sex marriage. Paterson’s take on the issue is that it is clearly wrong and unjust to deny gays and lesbians in civil unions up to 1,350 civil protections including healthcare and pension rights just because they are not married.

Paterson believes that the ethical action to be taken regarding the issue correlates with the political action that should be applied to the situation. Distributing equal rights to all people is the “only ethical way to treat people who want to live together in peace under the civil law.”
