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.
