Gov. Cuomo and the state Democratic Party are set to kick off a summer-long statewide voter registration drive Sunday at the Pride March in the city.

Part of the "New York Fights Back" campaign the governor created earlier this month to target six New York House Republicans, the voter registration drive will also focus on the Senate GOP health care bill unveiled last week that is “even worse than we imagined," Cuomo wrote in an email sent to supporters through the state Democratic committee.

The email sent a day before the march cites estimates that 1 million in the LGBTQ community nationally would lose coverage under the GOP bill.

It could be that the Dems are overplaying every hand when every hand is a supposed victim group. People with no animosity towards gays may get sick of hearing about them every day and some Pride parade seemingly every week.

But the youth are eating it up, and look at what walloped Theresa May!
