New York Same-Sex Marriage Law Gets Crucial Vote, Giving The Bill Enough To Pass

The last best option is a Constitutional amendment in NY.

I like how the Russians did it, they put in their Constitution that marriage is between and man and a woman.

Glad to hear that you have no stocks, bonds, mutual funds, bank accounts, or insurance policies.

I hope you don't watch TV, broadcast or cable (including Fox).

If you have or do any of these you are giving business to New York.

First off, I don't see most gays or lesbians as demons, generally they want to be left alone and if they keep it private as we all should, well, I don't have much of a problem. For the most part, I see them as people that are misguided. People are going to do what they are going to do. They have the same rights to a job, house and life like we all do. I don't even have a problem with civil unions, actually, there really need not to have sex involved at all in that. Civil unions can also be had by two friend who live together and so on. We already have provisions for that, go to a lawyer and draw up an agreement. However, I draw the line at the government recognition of same sex marriage, no way on that one.

I know there are gays who are pedophiles but you also have hetero ones too, no matter what, that is illegal and we have the law to prosecute them.

I guess it is in our system to late each State decide this issue for itself. New York has that right like any other. However, I think on an issue as big as this, I think we should have taken it to the people at large to see if the people themselves would vote up or down and go from there. I do think this was pushed through for more ulterior motives.

That said, I see this as a huge part of weakening Western Civilization and our country. Yes, we do need to be tolerant at times and if kept private, we generally can live with that. However, I see it as a goal to weaken our society as well as a way to bicker and fight to keep the spotlight off of other issues like the economy, New World Order and so on. Therin lies the rub, the old Cloward and Piven strategy, divide and conquer, in short, gays and lesbians are just being used by them.

It is also a thing with money, a way to grab more money and benefits like health insurance and so on. If a company wants to offer same sex benefits, it is their choice to make on their own, they should not be cajoled by the progressives or the gay lobby.

I'd like to know what the average New Yorker (State) thinks on this one, take it to the people. I think this passed because you got a huge elephant in that State, New York City. I understand that New Yorkers outside the city resent New York City since they dominate the State. We have the same thing here in Pennsylvania, Pittsburgh resents Philadelphia, but New York City is 10 times worse. Maybe same sex marriage is OK in New York City itself, I don't know really, but when you get out in the hinterlands, I'm sure it would be flatly refused.

Personally, the only way we can resolve the issue is to amend our Constitution with a clause to make marriage between one man and one woman much like they did in Russia.

This does open a can of worms overall, if we allow same sex marriage, then how can we not say to the old style Mormon who wants to marry more than one woman? Same deal for someone who practices Islam. How about a woman who wants to marry more than one man or group marriage. How about guy or gal who wants to marry their 1969 Caddy? It will not stop. If we favor one different group, then we will have to favor all, in all fairness, we cannot look at one group/couple and say, "you can marry" but to another, "you cannot."

The worst of all of this is the death of common sense to where to make it right again, you need to code it into law. For years, marriage has generally been one man and one woman, although in ancient times, men did take multiple wives, but over time, Western Civilization boiled it down to what we know today, until in recent years.

Memo to NY: since you’ve decided to officially become a degenerate fag state, don’t expect any help or sympathy from me the next time you have a 9/11. Burn in hell, New York.

Yeah, I'm convinced the U.S. will break up and Balkanize at some point in time. I think New York is lost to the progressives, at least the Eastern part of it. Sometimes I wonder if 9/11 was a warning from God, sort of like where He took His hand of protection away from us or at the very least, part of the bad karma we've been building up through the years.

The only “right” that is being pushed is the right to destroy religion.

I wonder, how many of these ‘legislators’ endorsing the degeneracy would demand to be called ‘christian’ or a faithful Catholic/Presbyterian/Methodist/Episcopalian ... well, not the piscopals, they’re already mired in degeneracvy so they don’t count. The dead-soul legislators would no doubt insist that they are standing for human rights ... and yes, the Wieners and Franks of the political class are the norm now. So we may conclude that degeneracy is a protect human right for these sick political operatives.

So we may conclude that degeneracy is a protect human right for these sick political operatives.

Yes it appears so...who would have imagined the depravity of man could stoop so low within the highest offices of our land. I still can hardly get over that Senator claiming, "Light has entered this chamber tonight" as he gave his yes vote for the bill to pass. But then God did say there would come the time when evil would be called good and good evil.

Of course there are transactions that flow through NY`s commercial system that I can`t avoid. However, I don`t have to set foot in that state, or support its tourism, restaurant and hotel industries.
