NOM isn't backing down from their anti-marriage equality fight. In fact, they are ratcheting up their pressure in New York state:With same-sex marriage still hanging in the balance in a paralyzed New York State Senate, the anti-marriage National Organization for Marriage is promising to spend $500,000 underwriting a primary campaign against any Republican who votes for gay marriage.
I think that, while it is indeed a determined effort on the part of NOM, it is inevitable that the Empire State will pass marriage equality sooner rather than later. Thoughts?
Gay rights groups are lobbying Republican senators hard on the vote, as a handful would need to switch sides to pass the measure.
"Gay marriage is not high on the list of any voters' priorities, but again and again we've seen politicians respond to political money thrown around by Tim Gill and his friends and ignore the wishes of their own constituents," said Brian Brown, executive director of the anti-same-sex-marriage organization, who said the group is forming a subsidiary,NOM PAC New York, for the purpose.

I think it will eventually pass, but at this point I'm not holding my breath on New York getting it this year.
The chaos that has been going on with the coup in the state senate has just made things too difficult to predict there.
Of course I think that it will eventually be legal everywhere but I'm glad I live in Iowa so I don't have to wait another 20 years or so like the folks in Utah, the probable last state for it to happen in.
