CNN Ticker Tag only NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo Signs State's Marriage Equality Bill. Same-sex couples will now be able to marry within 30 days.
(Excerpt) Read more at cnn.com ...
I remember how the bishop of Albany cheered Cuomo from the pulpit and announced that Cuomo would be implementing policies in harmony with the Church.
I’ve always said that a good portion of American bishops are knowingly or unknowingly working for the enemy.
I have no doubt that the Most Reverend Mr. Hubbard is quietly celebrating this development with a nice drink and maybe a cigar.
And from the Wall St. J. just see who gave us this legalized sodomy:
“The Republican-led Senate in New York voted to legalize same-sex marriage, delivering to gay-rights advocates a hard-fought victory that they hope will tip the balance in the country toward their cause.”
A New York Initiative and Referendum Amendment may appear on the November 5, 2013 state ballot in New York as an legislatively-referred constitutional amendment. The proposed amendment would allow for voters to enact and amend laws through initiative and referendum.
If it passes, they could then petition for repeal of gay marriage to be put on the next state ballot. 5% of the previous gubernatorial electorate is needed ...
If the repeal is passed in the election - then the current gay marriage law is null and void ...
This just happened recently in Maine ... pro-gay marriage legislation was passed and signed into law. 6 months later it was rejected by referendum in the next election.
Hypothetical:
So Mr.Gay, you feel “normal” now like a male and female in matrimony?
“If I wanted to marry a male friend ( I’m a male) with no sex involved, I could do it in NY and the other states that have passed similar laws.”
Of course, gay people have done this for centuries. Now you have equal rights.
Next up: Polygamy. Guaranteed within 10 years the islamists will have forced the dems and RINOS to legalize polygamy.
Gay marriage is not, at present, a pathway to citizenship unlike for heterosexuals. There are several deportation and immigration cases underway even with the Holder DOJ. I’m sure it’s just a matter of time particularly if SCOTUS upholds the lower court ruling against traditional marriage in CA and if DOMA is ended.
Time for Cuomo to be excommunicated...
UFA!!!!
ABSOLUTELY YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Does the ‘marriage’ have to be recognized in other States?
It never passes popular vote, it even loses in Calif.
Never happen.
It’s the slippery slope. Soon the gays will be demanding polygamy. They will say that the prohibition against polygamy and polyandry is for heterosexuals where children are involved.
While it is not illegal, how common is it for a NY governor to legislate a bill? Don’t law makers usually do that?
“Governor Cuomo Proposes Marriage Equality Act”

Hardly the end of the world.
Mostly they just bought in to large divorce fees a year or two hence. Cgrts.
Well the NY Republicans have did it now. Kick the ones that voted for this out. Not only does it show that they are not very intelligent to buy into the “Marriage Equality” crap. I had thought there was a good chance that this would be put off instead two critical votes caved to the liberals. The good news is this can be changed but the bad news it will take even more work than in Iowa where I’m certain that we are going to succeed in reversing it there. I’m glad that groups like NOM are getting better and better at going on the offensive the problem is the core of the gay rights fiction and its big govt orwellian goals has to be hit over and over again. Also the idea that someone can be “born gay” has to be destoryed in much the same way the idea of AGW has been destoryed in the minds of everyone but those in the political, media, and academic classes.
The problem with these big fictions under the guise of liberty is granted by govt rather than a function of the absence of govt. Homosexual marriage was not banned in NY. It simply was not licensed in NY by the state govt. There is just so much wrong with the juvenile unreasoned ideas and propaganda that has led to this type of thing.
People think they can hide from or ignore these social issues because it makes them uncomfortable or they want to be hip but it is exactly these issues that will allow the govt to eventually censor even the free exercise of your conscience.
That was just four Republicans and all the Democrats.
The NY Senate is narrowly majority Republican but most of the Republicans voted No.
You are buying the “Republicans did it” and “bipartisan” spin. This is meant to demoralize potential Republican voters.
