"The passage of the Equal Rights Amendment means the Equal Protection of the Law clause of the state constitution will be amended to shield against discrimination on the basis of pregnancy, sexual orientation, gender identity, and more."
"The amendment states, 'No person shall be denied the equal protection of the laws of this state... be subjected to any discrimination in their civil rights by any other person or by any firm, corporation, or institution.'"
"Proposal 1 led 57-35% on the morning after the election, according to New York State's unofficial election results, showing strong support among voters for equal rights."
"LGBTQ candidates had a successful night, with incumbents like Jabari Brisport winning 84% in an uncontested race and Brad Hoylman-Sigal defeating his rival by a landslide."
