“Assemblyman Dov Hikind of Brooklyn was feeling distressed. The State Assembly had just voted to legalize same-sex marriage, after gay rights groups flooded the Legislature with visits, phone calls and e-mail messages. Where, he wanted to know, was the other side? ‘Wake up! Where are you?’ Mr. Hikind, an outspoken opponent of gay marriage, said in an interview. ‘It’s the bottom of the ninth, two outs, and you’re losing — big time.’ As the Legislature considers whether to make New York the next state to legalize same-sex marriage, social conservatives have been largely missing from the debate in Albany.” [NYT]
