New York Passes Marriage Equality Act!

I am not a political person. Its true. Its not that I don't like politics it is just that I have never had a reason to be involved in it. However, recently this has changed all because of one head line:
After New York: The (Near) Future of Gay Marriage
Just on little article that contained a world of meaning for many people everywhere.
The article talks about the recent passing of the Marriage Equality Act by the New York state legislators, putting New York in the sixth state have also made gay marriages legal.(Yes, finally after years and years of hard work and long office hours that was put into the creation of the bill, it has really finally been passed.) Other states to have passed the bill are Connecticut, Iowa, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Vermont, as well as Washington, D.C.
California is no longer apart of this list a few months after making gay marriages legal due to it being thrown out by Prop 8. However, a case is pending in the courts that challenge this ruling and that is said to be resolved within the year.
The article goes on the discuss how excited the people of New York were when the bill was passed as well as how they celebrated it's passing in the streets of NY. This new act has made headway in the fight for equal rights among the gay community and has opened the doors for people in the state!
I strongly recommend that one reads this article for the sake of becoming more informed of the changes that are happening all around them. It should be know that the passing of these laws are but history happening in front of our faces. It is relevant to us in that it is our future that is being changed for the better and should be paid close attention to.
You may be wondering why I chose to blog about this article when I could have blogged about literary anything else, the answer is, as I have already stated in the paragraph above, because the passing of these gay rights laws are history in the making and they are making right in front of us here and now. It is important to not only our nations people but to the future of our government and nation. It is important to me.
