Senator Carlucci (D, New City) “Gay New Yorkers are our friends and neighbors, our colleagues, our family and our loved ones. The passage of marriage equality is a significant step forward towards equality for same-sex couples.  I am proud that we have rejected discrimination and have paved the way for future generations to live in a State that treats them with the respect they deserve.”
 
Assemblywoman Ellen Jaffee (D, Suffern): "Enacting marriage equality at last extends a fundamental right to our state's same-sex couples, and is an effort I am so truly proud to have been a part of. New Yorkers can draw deep satisfaction from their state leading the nation on what is a critical issue of justice, fairness, and progress in our time."
 
Assemblyman Kenneth P. Zebrowksi (D, New City): “Separate is simply not equal.  One of the cornerstones of our American society is equal protection under the law and finally that basic right will be extended to same sex couples.  This law is very careful to protect the rights of religions and religious leaders to practice their customs while still ensuring equality for all New Yorkers.”
