Yeehaw! Great news, y’all: Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos has confirmed that the Senate will vote on the equal marriage bill tonight! Kudos to the Senate majority conference for doing the right thing and allowing this bill to come to a vote. It’s been a long time coming.
Now, the only hurdle is to pass the damn thing. Rumors have circulated for the past few days that the one vote still needed to pass the equal marriage bill has been secured. What is certain is that all will be reveled tonight.
You have two options for watching LIVE coverage of the proceedings:
- Read the New York Senate’s Twitter feed, which you’ll find here. They’ve been live-tweeting any and all activity on the Senate floor, sending hundreds of Tweets each day.
- Watch live streaming video of the Senate right here:
We can’t attest to how well the livestream video works, since the Senate hasn’t been in session whenever we’ve tried it out. They do play some durned sexy standby music, though. You can be bet we’ll have it streaming tonight, so why not watch history happen right here on HerLinked?
