New York just became the 6th largest state to approve same-sex marriage. Yes! The Senate bill passed 33-to-29, Governor Cuomo signed the measure shortly after, and the law goes into effect in 30 days. A historic night to be sure, one probably best not spent in front of a laptop. Too late. But in case you’ve been off Twitter, here’s how some well-known indie rockers took the news…
As a gay man in a 7 year relationship getting married later this year, I can’t tell you How thrilled I am about NY marriage equality!!! (Ed)less than a minute ago via Twitter for iPhone

so cool
Kaki King had an even better tweet tonight that said “I want to get married so I can be a sexy divorcee”.
Cheers!
yyyyyeaaaahhhh!!
Will you marry me then, Rostam Batmanglij?
but anyway, I’m looking forward to a new wave of happy songs from all of my favorite artists <3
I think Colin Meloy’s tweet is my favorite because it’s so true.
in all seriousness though, congrats to all of the happy people in New York right now.
Retweeting hilarious @superchunk (Jon Wurster, I’m betting)
That should say New York just became the 6th AND largest state to approve same-sex marriage.
Also, HOORAY!
Yeah … hahaha, last time I checked, the population of NYC on its own was larger than all of Massachusetts. And I’m pretty sure there aren’t five states in this country that are larger than New York (at least population-wise).
No negative reactions, Stereogum?!? REVERSE POLITICAL DISCRIMINATION!!! Liberal elite BS!!!
JOKE PEOPLE!!! I love gay marriage and gay people, and do not like the dumb political white Christian persecution complex thing.
this is moving
GREAT bands react to GREAT NEWS
thanks Stereogum
I would kill to see an indie band that was anti-gay marriage: All cool indie credit = gone.
This is amazing – I love seeing indie bands, or anyone for that matter, that supports gay rights. “The mind is like a parachute, it works best when opened.”
