ALBANY, December 18, 2002 (LifeSiteNews.com) – The Republican governor and Republican-controlled Senate of New York state voted this week to ban so-called “discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation.” Governor George Pataki signed the bill into law after the Senate approved it 34-26 with one-third of Republicans collaborating with Democrats. Democrats vowed to play the homosexual card to unseat Republicans in liberal areas. “I’m shocked that so many suburban Republicans voted against the clear wishes of their constituents,” Sen. Eric Schneiderman (D-Manhattan), told Newsday. After the vote, Michael Long, chairman of the small Conservative Party of New York, vowed that every Republican “who voted for this bill has put themselves in jeopardy.” In the past, he noted, “We could always count on the senators to be more responsible and hold the line on what was important for family values.” For local coverage see: https://www.newsday.com/news/local/newyork/ny-stgays1218,0,6168523.story
