If you blinked you might have missed this, but Kathy Hochul supports marriage equality:
[Q] Do you support same-sex marriage?
Hochul: I support the civil institution of marriage for gay couples, with no requirements whatsoever on religious institutions. It’s not up to the federal government to define marriage.
Yesterday's election was pretty clearly about Medicare, Medicare, Medicare. I embrace that. But I'm putting a fine point on the fact that support for marriage equality did NOT prevent a Democrat from winning in New York's reddest district. This is a big deal.
