New York state Assemblyman Dov Hikind says that approving marriage equality means “we take the Torah, God forbid, and throw it in the garbage.” He also seems to believe we’ll all be forced to wear telephones on our heads.

“In the last 24 hours, another shoe dropped in the sprint to redefine marriage in New York. A second Republican has now come forward, promising to vote in favor of same-sex unions.

“New York’s legislative session isn’t the only thing that ends next Monday–so could the state’s definition of marriage.

And this time, they have the support of four senators who helped …

NOM is looking pretty terrified about the prospect of “losing marriage” in New York state. Use the below “Republican swing votes” list they provide and call your state Senator today.

You know what to do.

The vote is expected to come this week in the last few days of the legislative session. Seven or more Senate Republicans have signaled Gov.
