The fight for gay rights lingers on. After California and Maine have both been unsuccessful in protecting the rights of its gay citizens, New York is now engaged in a battle of its own. Several hundred people gathered in Union Square for a candlelight vigil the evening before the State Senate was scheduled to discuss the issue in its chambers. While the message was strong, the energy was a bit lacking, and they could have used a few more candles. Unfortunately, the Senate voted to postpone its discussion. The issue will wait until another day – hopefully before the end of the year.
