[Video below.] Anguished Senate Republicans held a four-hour meeting on Wednesday at which they were unable to decide even whether they would bring same-gender marriage to a vote, stalling a last-minute drive by supporters of the legislation.
The long-debated marriage measure, which has overshadowed all other issues in the final days of this legislative session, remained one vote shy of the number they needed for passage in the Republican-controlled Senate. The Democratic-controlled Assembly approved the legislation late Wednesday, by a vote of 80 to 63, and Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo is a strong supporter.
Assemblyman Dov Hikind, a Democrat from Brooklyn, spoke out against same-gender marriage.
