Governor Andrew Cuomo meets with gay advocates of same-sex marriage, saying he will give the cause his "full attention" this coming spring. Richard Socarides, president of the gay rights group Equality Matters, who participated in the hour-long meeting inthe Capitol, said:
- This meeting was intended to send a statement directly from the governor that this state is going to lead on this issue -- and he is going to lead it.
In a sign of Mr. Cuomo’s determination to be closely engaged, he will assign his most senior aide, Steven M. Cohen, to oversee the administration’s efforts on the issue.[1]
