More than 350 same-sex couples have signed up on a waiting list to be married in this village that has joined San Francisco in offering the ceremonies.

Mayor Jason West married 25 couples Friday and vowed to continue.

"Absolutely, I'll be doing this again," he said Friday before a cheering outdoor crowd. "I broke no law. I abided by the constitution of New York state and my oath of office."

Start arresting them NOW for breaking the laws!

"Start arresting them NOW for breaking the laws!"

I would agree, but we are talking about New York. Between that and California... Well, you get the picture.

Civil rights? These mayors are breaking the law! What is happening to our laws...?

The flood gates of queerdom have opened up.

Not mine, wish it was. Heard this on Mike Savage's show from a caller.

When I first heard about the idea of same-sex marriage about five or six years ago (reading Andrew Sullivan), I thought it was beyond ridiculous. Now, it does not appear that the practice is stoppable. First Massachusetts, then California, now New York . . . and even in places like Georgia and Idaho, opponents cannot muster enough votes to amend state constitutions to prevent it.

Soon the gays will suffer the consequences of marriage. Long, painful and expensive divorces. I doubt that after the reality of marriage sets in, many will choose not to marry.
