Timeline

2019

Duane was the prime Senate sponsor of the state's Gender Expression Non-Discrimination Act (GENDA), which became law in 2019 after he had left office.

At one time he was Chairman of the Senate Committee on Health, and he later served as that committee’s Ranking Minority Member.

2017

Duane has received a number of honors, from organizations including Callen-Lorde Community Health Center, Congregation Beit Simchat Torah (where he was the World AIDS Day speaker in December 2015), and The Alpha Workshops, which will be honoring him on May 15, 2017. In 2012 he received a Legends of the Village award from VillageCare, a nonprofit serving people with chronic, continuing, and rehabilitative care needs, which cited his championing of "civil rights, including gay rights in particular, HIV treatment and outreach needs, health care initiatives that reach out to those who are underserved or not served at all, tenant rights and much more." In 2016 he received an Impact Award from Gay City News.

2012

In June 2012, Duane announced that he would be leaving the Senate, citing weariness with commuting between New York City and Albany and in general being ready for "another chapter in my life."

2009

Duane was the lead sponsor of same-sex union legislation in the New York State Senate. Following the failed 2009 Senate vote on the bill, New York City Council Speaker Christine Quinn thanked Duane and the State Senate leadership for bringing the bill to a vote and saying "I applaud them for their dogged leadership on this issue." Same-sex marriage was legalized in New York in 2011, and the New York Daily News described Duane as a "leader" in that legislative effort.

2003

Duane has also fought overdevelopment in historic districts. In 2003, he was honored with a Village Award from the Greenwich Village Society for Historic Preservation.

2000

Duane was also instrumental in the ultimate passage of the Hate Crimes Protection Act of 2000, which stipulates longer penalties for those convicted of alleged hate crimes and mandates that New York State keep an active database of these crimes. Duane's advocacy of this cause was personal as well as principled; in 1983, he was hospitalized after being assaulted by two men shouting anti-gay epithets, yet the perpetrators were charged only with a misdemeanor. He also took the lead on "Manny's Law," which requires hospitals to disclose to indigent patients the availability of state-sponsored funds for health care costs, and worked to enact a rental cap of 30 percent of income for people who are living with AIDS and eligible for government financial assistance.
