Soap Community Reacts To Marriage Equality In New York

The soap community took to Twitter last night and this morning in reaction to New York state passing an historic Marriage Equality law. The New York Senate has voted 33-29 to legalize same-sex marriage following easy passage in the House. New York is now the sixth state allowing gay and lesbian couples to marry. Governor Andrew Cuomo will sign the bill and it will go into effect in 30 days. Here's a sample of the reactions below:

    @michaelmuhney (Adam, Y&R):"If u can make it in NY, u can make it anywhere." New saying should be, "If gays can marry in NY, they can marry anywhere."
