This is a bit of a silly story, but it shows that the movement is beginning in New York--through the courts! (Maybe no surprise there). What is interesting is that the movement gays seem to want to have it as an issue, not to seek a result through changing laws.

I want to be sympathetic, but I'm afraid I still don't understand what marriage gives gays--at a practical level--that civil unions don't. Does anybody?

This is not about protection this is about destruction.

Do you really think Hillary wants this an issue in New York, as first and foremost? She wants to be president and this issue is not her ticket.

The census counts 46,490 same-sex-partner households

Did the 2000 census ask for sexual preference? How do they know the difference between a homosexual household and heterosexual college roommates or flight attendants sharing an apartment?

A sense of accomplishment and victory.

Here is your answer:

New York gays don't believe in marriage, period.
