New York moves to become 6th state to legalize gay marriage

New York's Republican-controlled legislature cleared the way Friday to legalize same-sex marriage with a 33-to-29 vote, sending the bill to the governor's desk for his approval.

The vote came after days of delays that saw last-minute lobbying on all sides, passing by a slim margin with Republican support -- the first time a state legislature with a Republican majority has approved such a bill.

Once Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who proposed the bill, signs it, same-sex couples will be able to marry within 30 days.

"New York has finally torn down the barrier that has prevented same-sex couples from exercising the freedom to marry and from receiving the fundamental protections that so many couples and families take for granted," Cuomo, a Democrat, said in a written statement shortly after the vote.

Kourtney and Kim Taking the Big Apple

E! who first put out the television series, "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" have based a few shows after the famous family. First there was "Kourtney and Khloe Take Miami" and now there's "Kourtney and Kim Take New York." Since Kourtney has had her baby with longtime on-again, off-again boyfriend Scott Dissick, and Khloe has been married to Laker Lamar Odom for over a year now, it's not Kim Kardashian's turn to have this show be about her.
Though the move to NYC was more Kourtney's decision, she found real estate to open another location for the family boutique DASH, and also to be closer to her boyfriend and baby daddy's family since he's originally from New York. Since Kim is usually in a relationship, this show's season is basically her first season without a boyfriend, or exclusive relationship. Finally being single, she's off to the bustling city of New York to help her sister with the family business, and to have some fun in the Big Apple. With the first episode airing last Sunday, Kim was off to business out and about the New York City nightlife, running into former co-star Michael Copon. Another appearance was superstar Kanye West who would help with the set up styling of the new store.
So far in the news, Kim Kardashian has already been linked to quite a few people though she denies any rumors. In New York, she's been linked to Michael Copon, Kanye West, and now current boyfriend NBA player from the New Jersey Nets Kris Humphries. Even though the season was taped previously, it's a bit intriguing to see how things will turn out.
CATCH "KOURTNEY AND KIM TAKE NEW YORK" SUNDAYS ON E! AT 10PM.
