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.

That’s very good to know. “Home Depot” already had a number of marks against it in my book, but now knowing about its loathesome support for this kind of deviancy is quite helpful. I have several people I need to inform about this. thanks!
How is homosexuality morally any different?
They are all condemned by God.
Do you even believe in God?
Well, since you think “gay” marriage should be a choice if people want it, why not these other methods of sexual gratification? Many people apparently find them quite enjoyable, why shouldn’t they have a choice, too?
We’re shopping at Lowes’ from now on.
Actually let me amend that a bit...it may not have been the actual fire reigning down that did Lot’s wife in. Maybe it was seeing Christ come down in all his glory that was the death knell for her. Maybe he was actually PHYSICALLY there to judge the inhabitants of Sodom, in a “face-to-face” fashion.
People have gotten nonstop freepmails from fag trolls lately. I’ve gotten at least 20.
So let me guess now, I’m going to be called a gay lover and supporter of the gay agenda because of what I’ve said on here.
I got the same e-mail. But I don't think I am allowed to say so.
I suspect you will hear from the admin moderator before that.
This is disgusting.
I’ve said before I DON’T SUPPORT HOMOSEXUAL MARRIAGE OR THE GAY AGENDA.
THE NY LEGISLATURE VOTED ON THIS LATE AT NIGHT SO TO AVOID MASS CALLING BY PEOPLE NORTH OF NEW YORK CITY. What would you have liked me to do? Hitchhiked up to Albany a week before the vote? Like I said, they voted in the middle of the night to avoid scrutiny. There was nothing I could do. I found out about it while posting ON HERE that NY legalized it.
By the same sense other states have banned it before NY voted on it. So now there’s a legal battle the Supreme Court must consider. Tell anybody you know to start rapid-firing lawsuits now. Should the Supreme Court agree with a state banning it before NY made their decision to accept it?
No, DBeers, I don’t know when the government decided they were our divine rulers again, and set it out that they decided who may be married. I don’t think my grandparents were born when the government made that decision. To bash me for something the government did a very long time ago is just dumb.
Like I said, there is a now a legal battle brewing, because Alabama banned it before NY allowed it. Pray the Supreme Court decides against gay marriage. There’s absolutely nothing you or I can do as individuals, acting as individuals. What we can do however is to group together and act in such a manner.
I just posted a thread called “Trolls on Rampage” suggesting that people post the names of trolls so mods could zap them quickly but the thread got pulled a couple of minutes later. I guess the fact that people are being inundated with homo-troll freepmail is hush hush.
I got mail from NY 10101, too. I sent him a nice letter telling him that God loves him too much to let him stay the same.
Said something about Jesus didn’t have anything to say about gays in the Bible but to look at the woman caught in adultery. Jesus told her to go and sin no more. Same sexual purity is required of a gay or lesbian.
I also told him about 2 Corinthians 5:17. Hope that will help and change his mind. That is not all I said to him. We have to stand up and tell the people what is right from wrong.
THX 4 the ping.
I'm probably going to get banned for this, but here is what I wrote the same guy:

You may consider yourself a “gay Christian” but God considers homosexual behavior to be an abomination and Paul warns that such behavior will lead you to hell. If you are a Christian, then you would repent of your sin and turn to God for forgiveness. If you do not believe that your behavior is sin, then God very well my have turned you over to your lusts.
Romans 1:24 Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves,
All men have sexual desires which can be sinful if done outside the bounds of holy matrimony. But God demands that we set aside our lusts and follow him.
I do not believe that any man who has sexual relations with another man can be a Christian. And if you feel no guilt over your sexual sin, the God has turned you over to your lusts.
You are suffering from a delusion. If you continue down that road, then you will face judgment. You can’t stand before God and tell him that you didn’t think your behavior was sinful, or blame God for making you that way. God made all men subject to temptation. God put a tree in the middle of the garden and commanded that Adam and Eve not eat of it. But they were tempted to eat it.
God expects us to resist temptation and turn from sin not to give in to our lusts and celebrate the sin.
Just because 21 centuries have passed since Christ walked the earth does not mean that God’s declarations have been watered down or that God’s definition of sin has evolved. Times may change, but God’s word is unchanging.
God destroyed Sodom because the people there celebrated homosexual behavior. Their depravity was a cancer that infected the entire population.
Go ahead and call yourself a “Christian”. Make excuses for your behavior. You may fool the people, but you won’t fool God.
Sin is a serious matter. What you call natural and normal is still sin. Having sex with prostitutes or committing adultery is natural and normal in that all men face such temptations. It is not sin until you give into that temptation.
If your desire is for other men, then you can always choose celibacy. You don’t have to sin. You don’t have to pretend that what you are doing is good. It isn’t. it may feel good, but most sin feels good. If it did not bring us some form of pleasure, we would not be tempted.
Read Romans Chapter 1. Read it over and over and over again until it sinks in.
After you have read it, ask yourself if you really are a “gay Christian” or just another sinner in need of repentance.
Many times there is nothing we can do about evil except try to prevent it and regardless remain steadfast in calling it what it is.
Anyway, having opposed the homosexual agenda from the beginning and debated and argued the topic for quite some time I have come to realize that in a nutshell the whole agenda can be simplified and distilled down to a simple description. There is a special interest group that promotes evil and in their mind any means are legitimate. Evil does not play by the rules, play fair, or give a damn about anything but itself.
What we see here is simply a morally devoid homosexual sex promoting special interest group that is claiming to be oppressed and politicians using the power of government to free the oppressed. They seek to equalize the outcome, give any and all the ability to play house, get some children to adopt, and get some benefits ALL on the backs of society.
The value that society has long recognized in marriage and family is being redistributed to participants in an activity that is valueless, disordered, depraved, unhealthy, and self destructive.
This flawed robin hood role of taking from the oppressors and giving to the oppressed is something our elected marxist community organizer thrives on; it is his calling and his goal to impose this brand of social justice by any method he can; laws be damned.
Anyway, 'they' call this push for 'social justice' by the terms 'gay rights' and 'marriage equality' BUT REALLY it as the old as the failures of man, it is a proven epic failure of an ideology that has went by such names as marxism, socialism, communism and liberation theology in the past.
IT will fail again; of that I am sure; however, there might be a painful spell between now and then.
No. I continue to assume you are on the side of America.
In case you haven't been following the thread, yesterday I got accused of "actively promoting the homosexual agenda" for posting that same letter and then it was deleted.
Thank you, and thank you for that not short-ish post explaining what it is as its core.
