NY's Cuomo applauds Obama support for gay marriage Associated Press Copyright 2012 Associated Press. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed. Updated 05:07 p.m., Wednesday, May 9, 2012 ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo applauded President Barack Obama's announcement Wednesday that he supports legalizing same-sex marriage and framing it as a civil right, rather than a religious issue. Cuomo says he didn't talk to Obama about the issue during the president's visit to Albany on Tuesday, but the president's decision will prompt Americans to reconsider the issue, as they did in New York last year. Cuomo had personally lobbied key Republican senators in June to make New York the sixth state to legalize same-sex marriage. Lynn Faria, interim executive director of the gay rights group Empire Pride Agenda, said Obama's statement will fuel the movement.
