New York governor pushes for gay marriage vote next week

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — New York’s governor is pushing state lawmakers to consider a bill to legalize same-sex marriage next week after his effort to force a Senate vote appears to have all but lost.

Gov. David Paterson is placing the bill on agendas for special sessions on Nov. 16 and 17. Senate Democrats said the bill wasn’t likely to be considered during Tuesday’s special session.

Paterson is urging a vote even if the bill he strongly supports fails.
