Since 1991 Glick has focused mainly on two policy initiatives. In 2007, Glick blocked the building of a recycling plant on the West side of Manhattan. In 2008, Glick co-sponsored A 8590, a bill allowing same sex marriage. The bill amends the domestic relations law to prohibit legal discrimination based on the gender of the couple and prohibits denying a marriage license on the grounds of the sex of the parties.

Famous quotes containing the words voting, record and/or issues:
“Common sense should tell us that reading is the ultimate weapon—destroying ignorance, poverty and despair before they can destroy us. A nation that doesn’t read much doesn’t know much. And a nation that doesn’t know much is more likely to make poor choices in the home, the marketplace, the jury box and the voting booth...The challenge, therefore, is to convince future generations of children that carrying a book is more rewarding than carrying guns.”
—Jim Trelease (20th century)
“The lowest and vilest alleys of London do not present a more dreadful record of sin than does the smiling and beautiful countryside.”
—Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930)
“The “universal moments” of child rearing are in fact nothing less than a confrontation with the most basic problems of living in society: a facing through one’s children of all the conflicts inherent in human relationships, a clarification of issues that were unresolved in one’s own growing up. The experience of child rearing not only can strengthen one as an individual but also presents the opportunity to shape human relationships of the future.”
—Elaine Heffner (20th century)
