A coalition of politically active gay rights groups gathered at a Rockville Centre synagogue last night to explain its strategy to oust state lawmakers they said have blocked legislation supporting same-sex marriage.

Leaders of the Human Rights Campaign, a national gay rights organization, said they plan to focus on a few key Long Island races, but they declined to name the candidates involved.

"The future of marriage equality could very well be decided on Long Island this November," said Marty Rouse, who grew up in Hauppauge and is now the organization's national field director.
