The 4 GOPers could easily have stood their ground on “let the citizens vote”. There wasn’t any overriding thing that said this issue had to be decided now. Instead these 4 Republicans bailed much like the we had in the US Senate on DADT. We don’t need to punish all Republicans but those 4 need to find out the meaning of what they have done. What this does is sets up another tier for which big govt promotion of homosexuality to grow and the supression of anyone who disagrees to become even bolder. The irony is they cast this as liberty when it is the furthest thing from it. It is the legistlation of idiocy.
Senator Diaz (D) from the Bronx voted against the bill, and was by far the most passionate speaker on the floor tonight. (He’s a bit hard to understand, though...his accent’s a doozy.)
Regards,
Actually married people receive the tax breaks. Gay people would tell you, and they’re correct, that they have been subsidizing married peoples reduced taxes.
Citizenship is a federal issue, not a state issue. Nothing changes.
You need to do a bit more research. How does it become an initiative and referendum? That’s where you hit a wall.
“Gay people would tell you, and they’re correct, that they have been subsidizing married peoples reduced taxes.”
Did you sign on yesterday just to support the gay AGENDA?
Never mind. I know.
So now they get to “play house” under the official state recognition. Their legislative and judicial victories amount to nothing in God`s eyes. To Him, they`re just “playing house.”
Those pro-homo “marriage” senators and legislators will have some `splainin` to do someday.
I hate NY , too . Even though my mother , 4 sisters , + cousins , nephews and nieces live on Long Island , I haven’t been back ( from Japan ) in 7 years , and have no plans to visit . I did arrange to see my Mom and youngest sister in Hawaii ( Big Island ) 4 years ago , though . NY , CT , MA , VT , ME , NJ....the whole place sucks a big one . Couldn’t pay me to live there again .
There is a far better argument from history and religion for polygamy than for homosexuality.
The idea that guys butt-plugging each other needs recognition by society as the equivalent of marriage is stupid. The idea that God will not notice or respond is even more amazing, but then, I tend to think Obama is part of God’s judgment on an increasingly evil America.
If you have a friend and a good pension, you can marry that friend have no sex with him, but he would be entitled to your pension when you die.
The RINOs in the NY legislature made this Sodomite victory possible.
Fortunately, my State Senator Joe Griffo (R) voted against it.
Before you consign us all to Hades, you should know that NYS is mostly made up of red counties. They're commonly referred to as Upstate :)
Upstate needs its own state. That is the only solution.
BTW, anyone know a good lawyer who feels like doing a little pro bono work? I feel like engaging in a spot of polyandry, and I want the state to have to bless it with a marriage license.
You have a good point. Perhaps you could join forces with a polygamist and make it a twofer.
Polyandry, polygamy, incest....This legislation opens up one mother of a can of worms.
Divorce Easier as New York Law Ends Need to Lie
Love that headline, BTW. No spin there, nope.
SNORT.
This will be more business for Lawyers when all these gay couples start divorcing.
Already being done in the handful of states that allow gay marriage.
It’s looks like the time is more than ripe for a massive push for a federal marriage amendment, notwithstanding the screeches of the liberals, not to mention the libertarians. We were always lectured to keep that strategy in reserve unless absolutely needed. Well, the absolute need was when Marxistchusetts counterfeited marriage. Our best shot at it was shortly after that, but the RINO’s and libertarians shouted sensible people down.
