Last night at 11:55 pm New York Governor Andrew Cuomo signed a same sex marriage bill into law, the sixth and largest American state to do so. It's about time.
A special Bronx cheer goes out to Democratic Bronx Senator Rubén Díaz, the only Democrat to vote against this long overdue bill.

Our Bronx Senator now takes his special place in civil rights history alongside Governor George Wallace of Alabama who campaigned on "segregation now, segregation tomorrow and segregation forever” and who literally blocked a school house door to deny equal rights under the law to black children.
