New York state’s Marriage Equality Act passed the state’s senate Friday night in a vote of 33-29, making the Empire State the sixth U.S. state or district to
legalize same-sex marriage. The bill stalled for much of the week as state lawmakers debated the extent to which
religious beliefs on homosexuality should be protected under any new state legislation.
On Faith’s panel evaluated these religious exemptions this week and debated what should happen when equal rights for gay citizens and the right to religious free exercise clash.
