<description><![CDATA[ (May 30, 2008) Despite this week&apos;s decisions in New York and California, supporters of same-sex marriage still face a lot of opposition.  A Gallup poll conducted earlier this month found that 56% of Americans oppose granting marriage rights to gay and lesbian couples. 40% support the idea.  Republican leaders in New York haven&apos;t said yet whether they&apos;ll fight Governor Paterson&apos;s decision.  But the state&apos;s Conservative Party issued a statement describing the move as misguided and undemocratic.  Brian Mann spoke with the party&apos;s top official, Michael Long.  Long says this decision will trigger a statewide battle over the definition of marriage.

<description><![CDATA[ (Mar 23, 2004) On Friday, a court in Quebec cleared the way for same-sex marriages in the province.  Same-sex marriages have been legal in Ontario and British Columbia since last summer. Canada has quickly become a haven for hundreds of gay and lesbian couples from the U.S. looking for a place where they can marry legally. Brian Mann spoke with Kay Brannigan, a professor of Africana and women’s studies at SUNY Plattsburgh.  Brannigan and her spouse, Mary Ellen, were married in Ottawa last week.  The couple have two adopted daughters, ages 9 &amp; 10.
