the same thing

I cannot deny a person, a human being, a taxpayer, a worker, the people of my district and across this state, the state of New York, and those people who make this the great state that it is, the same rights that I have with my wife.

...

   Number 33, Senator Mark J. Grisanti from Buffalo, New York, Republican. Thank you Senator Grisanti for choosing amity and common sense over divisive white noise and social ludditeism.

   (though I am slightly sickened by his hand wringing over "disappointing" some people with his decision)

   Now, if only all those who sit behind desks were this clear-eyed, we'd have much easier days. 

   Happy Pride.
