Gay marriage is on a roll as NY state is going to recognize marriages performed in other states and California’s getting ready to offer licenses.

Gay rights advocates had reason to celebrate on both coasts Thursday, with New York set to recognize same-sex marriages performed elsewhere and California preparing to begin issuing marriage licenses to gay couples on June 17.

Hours after California issued a directive Wednesday authorizing that date, word came that New York Gov. David Paterson instructed state agencies — including those governing insurance and health care — to immediately change policies and regulations to recognize gay marriages.

For years, gay rights advocates have sought recognition for same-sex marriages so couples could share family health care plans, receive tax breaks by filing jointly, enjoy stronger adoption rights and inherit property.

Good news for you, homo.

(Ok I was going to have that be the only commentary I offered on this post because I thought it was funny, but maybe not)

Honestly, I’m pretty sure you could get David Paterson to sign off on anything. You just go, “Hey Governor, here’s this new bill that gives blind black dudes a hot new car/girl with a big butt/Knicks tickets” and he’s all like “YEAH BOYEEEE.” God I wish I did a NY politics blog, I’d literally write about our blind black Governor every day and it’d all be stereotypes and jokes about how he’d suck at archery. Sigh. One day.
