New York's state Assembly passed the same-sex marriage bill, The Marriage Equality Act, by a vote of 80-63. It will now go to the Senate, where it faces a closer vote. Currently, 31 senators, including two Republicans, are in favor of the bill. Backers need one more GOP member to vote in favor for it to pass.
