Four of the six New York State Episcopal bishops have come out in support of the passage of the Marriage Equality legislation enacted recently by the New York State legislature.
Bishop Mark Sisk of the Diocese of New York welcomed the same-sex legislation, saying "It was with thanksgiving and joy that I received the news of the New York State legislature's affirmative action on the Marriage Equality legislation that it had been debating with such intensity.
"The legislation, as enacted, appears to be closely aligned with the long standing views of this Diocese that the civil rights of all people should be respected equally before the law. In terms of the issue of marriage rights for gay and lesbian people that position was made most explicit in the resolution enacted at our 2009 Diocesan Convention.
