agencies to recognize gay marriages legally performed in
other states and countries. The Reverend Duane Motley
of New Yorkers for Constitutional Freedoms says the
Democratic governor is slapping New Yorkers in the face
by circumventing the legislature and courts.

Motley says
granting government benefits to gay couples will come at a
cost to the state even as Paterson calls for cuts in
spending because of looming deficits.
Motley says
Paterson shouldn't force the state to recognize gay
marriages when they remain illegal in New York.

legally elsewhere when granting state employment and other
benefits. (AP)
