New York Legislature Does The Right Thing (UPDATED!)

UPDATED with less-generic image (Empire State Building, all rainbowed-up for the occassion) courtesy ThinkProgress.

My two favoritest things: A victory for justice, modernity and sanity; and Boston coming in ahead of New York in things ;)

In all seriousness, congratulations to the Empire State for electing to enter the 21st Century. FUN FACT: This one state legalizing Same-Sex Marriage actually doubles the number of Americans in total who live in a marriage-equality state - an object lesson in why those red/blue map breakdowns are essentially worthless.

P.S. Does anyone have footage of JUST Sen. Ruben Diaz's apparently instant-douchebag-classic "this will destroy the world!!!" speech from the Senate vote they'd like to post for the lulz?
