Two grandmothers wed in New York's first legal gay marriage
Digital Journal ^ | July 24, 2011

Posted on 07/24/2011 4:09:05 PM PDT by NYer

Two women who are grandmothers became the first same-sex couple to legally marry in the state of New York, when they took part in a ceremony just after midnight on Saturday.
Kitty Lambert, 54, and Cheryle Rudd, 53, were joined by family, friends, supporters and tourists as they married at a Niagara Falls park near the Canada-US border. Niagara Falls Mayor Paul Dyster officiated and the water cascade was bright with rainbow-coloured lights.

The New York Times reported that, following 12 tolls of a bell to ring in the day, Dyster, said, “By the power vested in me by the laws of the state of New York, I now pronounce you legally married.”

According to Reuters, Lambert, an art gallery manager, made the blue satin dress she wore. Rudd, who works in a food processing plant, was dressed in a white tuxedo.

“I may be the first person standing here in history, but I’m just an ordinary grandma," The New York Times quoted Lambert as saying just before thew wedding. "This is one of the most incredible moments of my personal life, but it’s also an incredible moment for New York.”

The women have five children and 12 grandchildren between them.
They have been a couple for more than a decade.
"We ended up together because our partners were having an affair with each other," Lambert told the Village Voice. "So we went out to laugh about it and have a drink and commiserate. And we found out it was the most wonderful thing that they cheated with each other, because we were so better suited to each other. It was a God kind of thing.

So we started dating, and instantly we knew this is who we were supposed to be with. Of course, marriage wasn't an option back then, even in California."

She was involved in the founding of, and is president of, OUTspoken for Equality.

"This is pretty cool," Australian visitor Andrew Holder told Reuters following the wedding. "You come to see the falls, you see history."

Photos from Lambert and Rudd's wedding can be seen on the Daily Mail website.

People have sex drives so a man and woman can strive to create a life long loving bond and produce children.

These women are most happy here not because they get to be married, but that the perverse behavior they have chosen to engage in is being normalized. They know they are getting away with something.

"This is pretty cool," Australian visitor Andrew Holder told Reuters following the wedding. "You come to see the falls, you see history."

That's because they are one and the same:

Isa 21:9 And, behold, here cometh a chariot of men, with a couple of horsemen. And he answered and said, Babylon is fallen, is fallen; and all the graven images of her gods he hath broken unto the ground.

Rev 14:8 And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.

Rev 18:2 And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.

Babylon is history.

Since so many lesbian couples seem to have a male looking one and a female looking one, (as in the picture) doesnt it seem that even they are admitting in some way that the norm is male/female? I imagine they do not get the irony.

I have a question.... Why was this not put up for a vote BY the PEOPLE? How can this be signed into law without the people of New York agreeing to this crap?

Every time I see one of these sodomite ‘marriages’, I want to vomit. In every State where the voters have had a chance to have their say on this, the homos lost. Just like in California, those of us in New York will soon use the ballot box to forcibly divorce scum like this: http://youtu.be/R4turJL7owY

Or anyone else who decided they were a law unto themselves, who tried to subvert the natural law and Nature’s God.

It says that Kitty Lambert is president and founder of Outspoken for Equality, she didn’t get there overnight, ha.

I notice The Guardian’s reporter Dominic Rushe is trying to contact her for a story.

The left, always pushing the agenda.

why do homosexuals have to have the attention on themselves all the time?

Because they know it's wrong, so they want to prove the opposite to themselves. Social acceptance is the best proof of a social order.

Of course one can't prove a false statement, so no matter how much acceptance they get from other perverts, they still want more - because they need more. However even if an army of idiots chants "2 x 2 = 5" it doesn't overcome a single statement of a single mathematician that 2 x 2 = 4.

The modern history of the USA perfectly follows the history of Roman Empire. At least the society is thoroughly rotten. If we want to know the future of this country we only need to read on past of Rome.

Doesn’t the law in some states require that a marriage be “consumated” in order to be official?
I wonder which one of these pigs straps on that.. thing?

If you really think about it, there isn't any reason for either of these women to take their teeth out.

probably they had sex with males at some point and had children.

then they had a string of homosexual “relationships”. They just prove the promiscuity stereotype.

The photo of the three pathetic misfits in # 17 jogged my memory of the famous Lisa Minelli wedding photo with her queer ex-husband, David Gest, a pathetic-looking Liz Taylor and the visually-repugnant Michael Jackson lined up like so many of the bizarre characters in the Star Wars bar scene.

But the doings of abnormal people is all the rage in American society today....and the twittering public, stimulated by an amoral media, raises them to the highest rungs of celebrity....and makes them rich.....and worships at their feet like they are Baal of old.

Consider the two star headliners overwhelming the cultural news at the moment....Casey Anthony and Amy Winehouse, a murderess and a druggo freak....and now today, the faux "marriage" of two dumpy dyke grandmothers by a weirdo mayor is an added focus of attention to titillate the slavering public.

How can it be possible for a homosexual female be become a grandmother? If her nature is to be homosexual (attracted to another female) then would it not make sense that her nature would also not give her a desire to procreate? If her nature was to procreate, then would it not also follow that her natural attraction is to males?

Which nature is she denying?
