HRC Launches Campaign for New York Marriage

The Human Rights Campaign, the nation's largest LGBT rights organization, has announced a campaign to defeat New York state legislators who have opposed marriage equality (The New York Times). The Campaign for New York Marriage will parallel the efforts of Marriage Equality New York and Fight Back New York. HRC's campaign will be led by Brad Ellner, a former candidate for Manhattan Borough President and New York City Department of Education official. Ellner was recently expected to take over leadership of Empire State Pride Agenda until opposition to his selection led him to withdraw.
