CONGRESSMAN ENGEL'S REACTION TO THE NEW YORK RULING ON GAY MARRIAGE

Congressman Engel (D-NY) issued the following statement on the New York ruling on gay marriage today:

"I was disappointed with the ruling from the New York court today on gay marriage. I think it's simply a matter of basic human rights. As I have said many times before, I don't see how anyone else's marriage is threatened by two people who want to have a stable relationship."
