NY's biggest Spanish-language daily comes out for gay marriage

One of New York's most read Spanish language newspapers has joined a coalition of other newspapers to endorse legalizing marriage equality in the Empire State.

The editorial board of El Diario wrote Wednesday that the state was ready for a change and should ensure equality for all New Yorkers.

"Homosexuality is a human reality," they wrote in Spanish. "The majority of New Yorkers have a friend, colleague, or relative who is gay. Now is the time to give these people the opportunity to build family and community. Our government should not be in the business of telling people who to fall in love with or who to marry."
