Pro Gay Votes Fill NY GOP Coffers

Gay legislative love pays off for politicians – especially if they’re Republicans.

Assembly Republicans who bucked party leaders and voted to legalize same-sex marriage in New York have been rewarded with an outpouring of donations from gay rights advocates across the nation.
….
The money has flowed in at such a rapid pace that these Republicans have seen more than half of their individual contributions in the latest filing cycle come from donors with addresses outside the state.

Their donations also far surpassed political giving from the national gay rights movement to Assembly Democrats who voted for the bill, including Democratic members in upstate districts with conservative leanings.

Let this be a lesson to the rest of you grand old partiers…

      Smart move, let the GOP politicians know that it is in their political best interest to support gay rights.
