Senator Ball :You could have been a hero. You appeared to be willing to check your personal beliefs at the Senate door and have a legitimate conversation about marriage equality.
Instead, you allowed your personal beliefs and career to trump the rights of your fellow New Yorkers.
You asked New Yorkers how they felt - by Twitter and Facebook. Responses to both were overwhelmingly pro-equality.
You obviously never intended to listen at all.
You chose to use your power and influence to try to keep a subset of tax paying New Yorkers as second class citizens - while creating unnecessary protections for tax-exempt religious institutions.
I hope. Senator, that you will remember this day and understand the slap in the face you have delivered to millions of New Yorkers who support marriage equality.
Thanks for nothing, Senator.
