From NBC New York:

Gay rights advocates have launched a final push to win support of a same-sex marriage bill in New York, as state lawmakers are slated to gather tomorrow to vote on the measure.

Gov. David Paterson has called legislators to Albany for the vote — saying he believes the measure will win enough support to sign into law. But, sources said negotiations are expected to go late into Monday night as Democratic leaders discuss whether to put the bill to a full vote in the Senate without knowing whether it will have enough votes to pass.

The State Assembly passed the bill earlier this year.

Advocates on both sides of the issue lobbied senators over the weekend, but it was still unclear whether the measure could earn the 32 votes needed for approval.

Democrats hold a shaky 32-to-30 majority in the Senate — and the measure does not have full support across the party line.

Those who favor the bill believe now might be the best time to try and push through the measure, as all 212 seats in the Legislature and the governor’s post are up for election in 2010.
