Is this adequate to kill homosexual marriage? With an R majority, I don't believe the subject will be brought up.

Unless you were born after 1987, that district had elected a Democrat before Massa... Stan Lundine from 1976-1987 (who then retired to become Cuomo’s 2nd Lieutenant Governor from 1987-1995).

The GOP has miraculously held onto the NY Senate for most of the past century, even as the party has deteriorated in the Assembly and U.S. House. They use gerrymandering and the power of incumbency (and an “arrangement” with Assembly Democrats) to mostly hold onto power. They did lose it in ‘08, but that was just narrowly, and for the first time since the mid 1960s (where they lost it for only a single year), so returning back to power is just a return to “normalcy.”

Here’s hoping NYS GOP is no longer an acronymic oxymoron....

But I also oppose black/hispanic non-marriage, the idea that its okay to have kids out of wedlock by three different fathers and expect the government to pay for it. That is JUST as immoral as homosexual marriage, and just as detrimental to society.Since we taxpayers, not the "goverment", actually foot their expenses, I'm a little more concerned about (1) their indigence, whether in or out of wedlock, and (2) the inter-generational transmission of the idea that they are predators and we are their prey (to be robbed or killed at will) than whatever gays do or don't do.

Well said. That said, I detest queers, too, mainly because they are unable to co-exist without foisting their distasteful lifestyle and moral code on the rest of us, particularly our kids.

It’s heartbreaking that we came so close to defeating Alan Bates, but in the end the late votes by ‘rats turned the tide and Dotterer lost.

What do you mean by #2? I think that the vast majority of the time the black-on-white crime rate is driven by greed (robbery) rather than hatred. Obviously the average white person is going to be a more appealing robbery target than the average black person, simply because they have more material assets, hence the massive amount of black on white crime. Would you agree?

Would you agree?I don't think it's a matter of hatred or greed, so much as the adoption of the mindset of predators in the natural world - you know how a shark sees anything that moves as a potential food source? Or how Genghis Khan took a look at a prosperous kingdom and saw a population ready to be harvested? That's what I'm talking about.

So it’s up to Cuomo to do it in the courts.
