A Step in the Right Direction

From tomorrow's New York Times:

Gov. David A. Paterson has directed all state agencies to begin to revise their policies and regulations to recognize same-sex marriages performed in other jurisdictions, like Massachusetts, California and Canada.

It's not what we should have -- full equality -- but it's a start. And given anti-equality obstructionists in the State Senate, it's the most that Paterson can get through at the moment.

So good for Paterson. Half a loaf is better than none and all that.

Now, on to full equality. Give all our citizens equal marriage rights in New York State!
