"(Albany, New York) The top Republican in New York State and its most
vocal opponent of LGBT civil rights, Senate Majority Leader Joseph
Bruno, has confirmed he will not seek re-election.  Bruno also opposed the Gender Expression Non-Discrimination Act, or GENDA, which bans discrimination against transgender people in housing, employment, credit, public accommodations, and other areas of everyday life."

This is huge!  Sen Bruno has been consistently against the granting of equal rights in this state and his absence will do nothing but help the NY GLBT Community.

I will pray his successor looses the election to a democatic party member who will support us.
