"So now if a Muslim man comes over, gets a job, then insists that his 4 wives as permitted by Islam (and validated as married in some 3rd world dump of a country) also be covered, that too is required?"

Or what about that woman who "married herself", or the guy who married the Barbie doll, or every oddball thing out there?

damn... guess i gotta get me some of that!!!

notice how this is totally and utterly omitted from the MSM media coverage before the primary election.

McCain voted against the Federal Marriage Amendment and has IN WRITING he does not care about homsecual based marriage or protecting traditional marriage.

I guess polygamy is now legal in NY.

If other countries grant their people conceald carry permits, does New York honor them too? What a gay-wad “judge”!

[gakrak]

Gee, I live in Rochester and it is a dump of a third world country. Already planing to leave the state with my family in two years. Can’t wait to be rid of the lib BS in NY. Amen.

I'll probably get flamed for this, but I think it's a correct decision. Two weeks ago, my daughter was married in Canada, even though she and her husband live here and are U.S. citizens. (They were married in Canada because they wanted to get married at the Whistler ski resort, much to my wallet's chagrin.)

At any rate, I think most Freepers would agree that U.S. law should treat my daughter as married, with the various rights and responsibilities that entails. And, even though I oppose gay marriage, if it legal elsewhere, I think it needs to be honored here, until - as the court said - the legislature explictly prohibits treating gay marriage the same as traditional marriage.

It is not a correct decision. NY recognizes marriage between a man and woman, not same sex marriages. I was married off shore in man/woman marriage which complies with NY law. For that judge to say NY needs to legislate against recognizing same sex marriage is double talk, NY excepts that in its existing position. This judge is deliberately is picking at the obvious and is an ass.
