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.

New York, lol. It's been a corrupt, mob-controlled government for decades.
Whatever... Those sick scumbags can't force me to recognize sodomite marriage.

Sad thing is the Republican-led senate voted to approve it. How many RINOs and liberal republicans - nothing more than democrats with an “R” in front of them - screwed the state over on this one?

If I recall correctly, NY was one of the first states to legalize abortion.

The apostacy and end time as described in the New Testament is being played out before us. And the pace is picking up. This means that all of this will end much sooner than later.

Marriage was ordained by God right after the creation of Eve, at the dawn of civilization. It came before the fall of man and even God’s promise to Abraham the nation of Israel. That is how important marriage (between a man and a woman) is to God. These secural, empty and soul-less people have NO IDEA with whom they are dealing with and with the wrath that is awaiting them.

As I posted on the “vote in process thread”, our NY GOP just consigned itself to permanent minority status.

We’ll see...I’m not so optimistic.

These idiots make it up as they go along. I have no problem co-existing with homosexuals; just don’t force me to think it’s normal, or natural; it’s not.

"There have been very real fears that religious organizations will be sued with the legalization of homosexual marriage. Reason being, the liberal view being that discrimination against homosexuals is just like racial discrimination, and liberal judges agreeing. Even though homosexuality is not a protected class in federal civil rigts laws, liberal judges have begun to pretend that it is."

In CA a single gay judge can rule a voter-led constitutional amendment to be unconstitutional.

There’s no place where some liberal in some position of power can’t attempt to undo what voters want. If it isn’t the legislature it’s the governor, or the state supreme court. Or it’s a liberal secretary of state (ex WI). Or then they go to whatever federal court is there. We have to be engaged all the way all the time and force them to either do their job or force them out.

Has any culture in history ever recognized homosexual marriage? Until recent years?

That's because there is only one ultimate culmination of the Age.

Ya know it is very easy to tap out words in this type of a forum...should not professing conservatives be conservative in our words? I have two wonderful children living and working in New York and you have just smirked at the possibility of their deaths in a nuclear blast.

Did it exactly the same way: 11th hour, "Catholic" legislators crying that they had no compassionate alternative, etc.

Speaking as an Illinois Resident, Illinois and New York Republicans are the same. We just had several Illinois Republicans vote for Civil Unions, Education Fund for Illegal Aliens, and a Casino for Chicago.

Southern Democrats are already crowing on websites about the GOP and how they don't stand for family values and are hypocrites.

You can be light by fleeing evil. Think what a powerful witness that would be if all those who feared God left New York en mass? It might start a revival.

We can preach God's word by methods other than the more obvious, popular ones.
