"NY GOP tables gay marriage; showdown looms" from AP Press

In 2008, gay marriage advocates gave a major financial hand to Democrats who won the state Senate, the first time Republicans were out of control in 50 years. Democrats promised to legalize gay marriage but failed in 2009, then lost the majority in 2010.

"Even though the gay marriage issue today is probably most analogous to the abortion debate, it is very different even from that," said Steven Greenberg, a former Assembly staffer who now works for the Siena College poll that tracks state issues.

Greenberg said the abortion debate didn't come with the legions of lobbyists and large cash infusions like today's gay marriage debate.
