Rachel Maddow covered the passage of same-sex marriage legislation in New York live on MSNBC Friday night.<\/p>\n
Maddow, who is one of just three openly gay cable news anchors on television, let the cheers of the crowd play uninterrupted for minutes after the successful vote was announced.<\/p>\n
“This will become law,” she said, adding that the number of people in the United States “for whom same-sex marriage rights are a reality” had just doubled.<\/p>\n
Maddow also pointedly noted later in her coverage that “President Obama is against what just happened.” (Obama is still on record as being opposed to same-sex marriage.)<\/p>\n
Maddow has previously said that “maybe” she will marry her longtime partner Susan Mikula. She now lives in two of the states where same-sex marriage is legal: Massachusetts and, as of Friday night, New York.<\/p>\n
