(05.29.06 - AP) — The state's highest court begins hearing a case this week to decide whether New York City can issue licenses for same-sex marriages.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg says that — if the court rules that the city can issue the licenses — the Big Apple will begin performing gay marriages.
If the court rules the other way, Bloomberg says he and City Council Speaker Christine Queen will work with the state Legislature to make gay marriage legal.
The mayor spoke about the issue Sunday in his weekly radio address. Pride Month begins June 1.
Bloomberg has been criticized for appealing a lower court ruling that said same-sex marriages were legal.
City attorneys have said that Bloomberg wants a definitive statewide ruling to avoid the confusion of a marriage being legal in New York City but not in Buffalo.
