(New York, USA) - New York governor Eliot Spitzer submitted a bill to legalize same-sex marriage Friday, making good on a promise he made during his 2006 bid for the gubernatorial seat. This is the first time any U.S. governor has authored and introduced a same-sex marriage bill to a state legislature. At the same time the bill was introduced, the New York State Department of Civil Service, which is part of the Spitzer administration, said that all legal out-of-state marriages of state and local government employees who are gay will now be recognized.
