SCHUMER FLIPS ON GAY MARRIAGE March 23, 2009 Posted: 1:36 pm March 23, 2009 WASHINGTON - Sen. Charles E. Schumer officially flipped on the issue of gay marriage at a dinner event last night with gay activists, his office confirmed today. "It's time," said Schumer in an emailed statement to the Post. "Equality is something that has always been a hallmark of America and no group should be deprived of it." The Empire State Agenda, one of the activist groups present at the event, released a statement today celebrating the news that Schumer, a long-time supporter of civil unions but not gay marriage, had come over to the other side. "Like a majority of New Yorkers, Sen. Schumer recognizes that only marriage equality provides same sex couples the status, protections and rights afforded to all other Americans. We look forward to working with him to win marriage equality in New York State and around the country," Executive Director Alan Van Capelle said. NYPOST
