Do you mean in New York City? What about New Paltz?--Pharos 06:48, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- OK, it was just odd that New Paltz was not mentioned in the first version. The article now is considerably improved.--Pharos 23:07, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
The NY Times is reporting that the Court rejected same-sex marriage. No article yet, it's just a breaking news headline. I threw this into the article, but will update it with more details as they are released. Liamdaly620 13:15, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] 2007 June update?
I'm reading online (e.g., OutZone.com) that the NY House approved same-sex marriage legislation championed by Daniel O'Donnell, but that the NY Senate is expected to reject it. No mention in the article. Update? Even if it doesn't pass, a comprehensive article on the subject should mention the activity on the issue, seems to me. Lawikitejana 03:07, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] "Recognition" seems severely overstated
The lede in this article says that NY state recognizes same-sex marraiges performed elsewhere. However, when discussing the details, it mentions only that the state govt. will administrtavely recognize such marriages when making decisions about partner benefits for its pension plans. This is a far cry from actually recognizing these marriages as marriages under New York state law, which would carry with them a whole host of other rights and responsibilities involving tax law, spousal support, rights to private insurance, child custody, etc. If none of these are touched on by the NY state decision, then this really needs to be reworded. --Jfruh (talk) 23:03, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
Should be interesting to see what happens with all the inevitable appeals and subsequent court cases. New York is adjacent to three jurisdictions (Ontario, Québec, Massachusetts) which perform actual marriages, so the issue will inevitably keep arising in court cases in various contexts. --66.102.80.212 (talk) 02:34, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Lengthy quotation from Governor Paterson is unnecessary
The gratuituous, self-congratulatory remarks from Governor Paterson are inappropriate. They read more like advocacy than like an encyclopedia entry. If anyone believes that these remarks should be retained, please advise.

i have redacted the paterson reference and removed all but the pertinent statement. i think it is important as a promise which was made but is hard to find documented on the internet. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.15.30.166 (talk) 18:53, 25 May 2008 (UTC) --Pauljoffe
