Way to go traditional marriage supporters! Winning victories LEFT and right.

MICHAEL GORMLEY- Associated Press Writer -

ALBANY, N.Y.- A bill that would have allowed same-sex marriage was rejected by New York lawmakers, a stunning outcome for advocates in a state that was the site of one of the gay rights movement’s defining moments four decades ago, and a huge victory for opponents who said it could influence votes elsewhere.

“It’s just a huge win,” said Maggie Gallagher, president of theĀ National Organization for Marriage, a nonprofit organization whose stated mission is to protect marriage. “It’s going to help cement defeat for gay marriage in New Jersey, and I think it’s going to get a whole bunch of politicians in New Hampshire who voted for gay marriage this year pretty nervous when they come up for election.”
