ALBANY - A vote of conscience has left the four Republican senators who helped legalize gay marriage already facing retribution from the Conservative Party.

... But Gov. Cuomo and gay rights advocates had the backs of the four senators - Sens. James Alesi of Rochester, Roy McDonald of Saratoga Springs, Stephen Saland of Poughkeepsie, and Mark Grisanti of Buffalo - Friday night after the historic vote.

Cuomo, a Democrat who polls show is popular among Republicans, deemed all four "people of courage, people of principle" and recognized that for them, the vote to support gay marriage was "politically more dangerous."
