Council Members-Elect Van Bramer, Dromm Extremely Disappointed By Queens State Senators Who Voted Against Marriage Equality
3 December, 20093 December, 2009 5 comments Announcement Announcement

Dear Supporter:
 
 
As you may know, yesterday the New York State Senate failed to pass a bill that would allow same-sex couples the right to marry.
 
 
I am saddened that the State Senate has missed this opportunity to finally acknowledge the civil rights of New York's LGBT citizens and guarantee marriage equality for all New Yorkers. I am particularly disappointed in those Queens State Senators, including my own, who voted in opposition to this bill.
 
 
Many, including Assemblymember Daniel O’Donnell, Assemblymember Deborah Glick, Senator Tom Duane, and our own Assemblymember Cathy Nolan, fought hard to pass this legislation. They, and those who voted yes, deserve our thanks.
 
 
 
Following the vote yesterday, I and my fellow Council Member-Elect Danny Dromm released this statement below which I'd like to share with you. Rest assured, this fight is not over, and I will continue to be a forceful advocate for equal rights for New Yorkers and residents of the 26th Council District.
 
 
Sincerely,
 
 
 
  

Council Members-Elect Van Bramer, Dromm
 
Extremely Disappointed By Queens State Senators

Who Voted Against Marriage Equality
 
Not Representative Of Borough That Just Elected 2 Openly Gay Officials
 
 
SUNNYSIDE AND JACKSON HEIGHTS, QUEENS – Council Members-elect Danny Dromm (25th District) and Jimmy Van Bramer (26th District), who made history last month by becoming the first openly gay elected officials in the borough of Queens, voiced deep disappointment with the five Queens State Senators who voted against marriage equality this afternoon.
 
 
Dromm and Van Bramer also applauded the two Queens Senators who voted for marriage equality – Senate President Malcolm Smith and Senator Toby Stavisky – for their courage and leadership.   Dromm and Van Bramer expressed particular disappointment with the two Senators who represent them, Hiram Monserrate (Dromm) and George Onorato (Van Bramer), who voted no.  
 
 
Council Member-elect Van Bramer said: “Today was an opportunity to celebrate and honor our diversity, to take a stand for human rights and human dignity,” said Council Member-elect Jimmy Van Bramer. “Two members of the Queens delegation – Senators Smith and Stavisky – embraced this vision. But sadly, five other Queens Senators voted to deny a basic civil right to their own constituents. Their views are not representative of a diverse, inclusive borough that just elected two openly gay elected officials for the first time.”  
 
 
Council Member-elect Dromm said: “I’d like to thank Senators Smith and Stavisky for being on the right side of history today. But Senators Addabbo, Huntley, Monserrate, Onorato and Padavan sent a deeply troubling message today that members of the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender communities are second-class citizens. Their votes underscore the need to elect more progressive and open-minded Senators in Queens.”
