"“We will not ask whether this proposition of legalizing same-sex marriage is popular or unpopular; we will not ask if it’s hard or easy; we will simply ask if it’s right or wrong,” he told a crowd of nearly 1,200 gathered at a Midtown hotel ballroom. “I think we know in this room what the answer to that question is.”"

He didn't have to word his language this strongly but, nearly from day one, he's been saying that HE will introduce legislation to legalize gay marriage. That will carry a lot of weight in the Senate and Assembly, where he recognizes that he has work to do in order to convince a majority in both chambers to pass it. But I admire him for using this intensity of wording and I think he will definitely attempt it.
