It just went to the floor for a vote:

That's a given. But you'd think that even in New York there would be some with principle. I wonder what bargaining chips are being used?
Principle usually goes out the window when you become a legislator. As for the bargaining chips... Money, votes on other bills, pet projects to be passed. I hear a big one is redistricting. Cuomo threatened the GOP Senate to block any redistricting that they passed and let the liberal courts draw the maps instead. This would effectively ensure Democrat control of the Senate after the elections. The GOP caved on it.
Well, that is just fabulous!
We’re told that gays are only 2 to 4 % of the population. How many of that small percentage want to get married?
I’m not in favor of the bill, but I can’t believe it will have that much of an impact on society in general.
Yeah, well these very same Black people consistently vote for politicians who let this happen. They share in the blame as far as I am concerned.
That’s what I keep telling my husband about smokers. Though declining hugely, they still represent 20 plus percent of the population.
But do they agitate? Do they form protest groups? Do they fight at all?
No, they just sit around and smoke and maybe have a couple of martinis ....
...but yet the majority of Black people voted AGAINST same-sex marriage in CA.
“Yeah, well these very same Black people consistently vote for politicians who let this happen. They share in the blame as far as I am concerned.”
You miss the point I was trying to make which is that the left canNOT play the race card on this issue, comparing homosexual “marriage” with interracial marriage, because the majrotity of Blacks are against it, too.
The fact that the majority Blacks vote poorly is true, but that’s another thread.
It is getting to be a mantra from the gay AGENDA people that being against gay so-called marriage is a racial issue, which it is not.
I’m even seeing it after anti-gay “marriage” letters to the editor on the newspaper blogs.
[[Even so, some judge would overturn it any way]]
Some gay judge- just likwe hwat happened in californication- who then turned aroyund and said his perverse lifestyle had nothign to do with his descision- yeah, suuuuure it didn’t
