The new governor of New York, David Paterson, has directed all state agencies to recognize same-sex marriages conducted in other states or countries. According to a story in the New York Times Paterson is quoted as saying same sex couples married elsewhere, “should be afforded the same recognition as any other legally performed union.”
Legal experts said the governor’s order would make New York the only state that did not itself allow gay marriage but fully recognized same-sex unions entered into elsewhere.
