Governor Cuomo plans to meet with prominent gay activists in order to push for a bill that legalizes same-sex marriage in New York, sources tell NY1.

They say the governor will attend a brain storming session on Wednesday in order to put together a solid measure and introduce it by June.

It won't be easy, as Cuomo will have to win over several lawmakers in order to get the law passed.

A similar bill was defeated in the State Senate in 2009.

Sources also tell NY1 that City Council Speaker Christine Quinn, who is openly gay, will also be attending the meeting.
