N.Y. Senate debates religion, defeats “gay marriage” bill

Baptist Press: “‘What it shows is that it’s not inevitable,’ Nimmocks told Baptist Press. ‘We’ve seen citizens in 31 out of 31 states vote to uphold marriage as one man and one woman. We’ve seen the New York legislature vote to uphold marriage as one man and one woman, and we’ve seen it from the West Coast to the East Coast, from the North to the South. It’s very encouraging to know that there’s so much that unifies us in this country all across this nation, and marriage is one of those big things.’”
