The court’s decision is also a sad and embarrassing reminder how New York lags behind other states that are protecting LGBT kids. It’s shameful that we can’t get the same legislation to the floor of the State Senate because of obstructionism by the Republican leadership -- even though it had the votes (35) to pass.”
