About most of the republicans who voted "No".
WTF is wrong with Republicans that so few, drawing great ire from their Party, voted for this basic right.
I saw one on CNN who said what stopped him from voting was the carve outs did not go far enough. It wasn't just Churches needed to be protected from being sued for not performing same sex marriages. He wanted all religious organizations, AND all employers who had religious based objections from being sued.
Basically, if an employer said "I won't cover your spouse for any benefits I normally give, because they are the same sex" this Senator thought that should be allowed by the law.
While not going full Santorum on Same Sex Marriage, The NY GOP were still in lock step against civil rights.

1. The slime from PA politics rubs off on NY's bottom.
No offense to the brave DU'ers in PA.
