NY Legislature legalizes gay marriage
AP ^ | June 24, 2011 | MICHAEL GORMLEY

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) - Gay marriage will become legal in New York state after the Republican-led state Senate voted to approve it. Advocates are calling it a historic step as New York stands to become the sixth but by far the largest state to legalize same-sex marriage.

Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo lobbied hard for the bill and has promised to sign it.

The Senate vote is viewed as a major gain in an effort to allow gay marriage nationally.

I always wonder where it will end.

It will end in the persecution of the church.

There’s no legal argument against it at this point.

What a farce of a society we’ve become.

I’m finished with political affiliations. I’m finished with popular culture. I’m finished with the idea that this country stands for anything anymore. The ideals represented on Mt. Rushmore are dead and buried. We are a sick, decrepit, dwindling nation of perverts, crowd-followers, egotists, opportunists, economic thieves, and cowards.

We can’t even say the name “God” in a public Pledge of Allegiance.

We are distorted like a cracked mirror. We are the serpent in the garden, plucking up children, destroying the unwanted and weak, worshiping our idols, waiting for handouts. We are lazy, uneducated, ignorant of history, dazzled by shiny objects, atheistic, amoral, relativist trash.

God will punish us by simply allowing the rotten fruit of our heinous, power-drunk civic leaders, celebrities, media, and Christian-hating corporations destroy us from within.

And in the end, when each one of us is called before God to account for our actions, may we all be able to say we fought the good fight and were never ashamed to proclaim that Christ is Lord.

Why should FR allow anti-Christian remarks? It is blasphemy, and blashemy should be deleted.

When the poster is deleted, the remarks should remain as a warning to others about what will not be tolerated.

The poster has been deleted. I think the comments that led to him being booted from Free Republic should stand.

“I think the comments that led to him being booted from Free Republic should stand.”

I wouldn’t mind that EXCEPT for Christian BLASPEMY.

Christian BLASPEMY should NEVER, EVER remain!

Maybe there should be a section called, “The Sewer”, where such posts can be viewed. Maybe not all of them, but perhaps a “Hall of Shame”.

Rsquare said we should all read the Koran, we were non-different from the Taliban, that we are all closeted fags chasing little boys, and more!

Plus comments to him were deleted.

This is unusual.

Almost every liberal quote from the MSM contains blasphemy. If FR didn't allow their readers to be exposed to Christian Blasphemy, then we couldn't post any articles from the MSM or discuss them.

We need to know what the enemy is saying. We also need to know when we have enemies in our midst.

I can send his zot worthy screed to your mail if you like but it really serves no purpose. If you want to post it then you can.

The writing is on the wall, New York is done, time for all the good people left to leave.....

I heard another voice from heaven saying, 'Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues. For her sins have reached to heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities'" (Revelation 18:4,5)

Wow, that photo really says it all.

A real blanket of evil has descended upon the country. I’m really beginning to believe some kind of secession is the only option left.

I read it. I commented on it. My comments were deleted before rsquare was deleted.

He has been deleted now, but i think the comment that got him banned should remain as a warning to other libertine idiots who think that anti-Christian libertarianism is going to be tolerated on a traditional Conservative website.

New York currently does not have a referendum/initiative provision in its law - but a bill is moving through the legislature.

When it is passed, as is expected, only 5% of the electorate needs to sign an anti-gay marriage petitionin order to get it on the ballot.

Then, I think it only needs to be passed by a simple majority in order to repeal the law ...

Maybe the moderators will tell us why the softer posts were deleted.
