ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) - A veteran Republican senator tells The Associated Press he will vote yes on gay marriage, apparently giving the measure the support it needs to become law.

Sen. Stephen Saland (suh-LAND') says he has long been undecided. He voted against a similar bill in 2009, helping kill the measure and dealing a blow to the national gay rights movement.

Anyone not fighting vice is tacitly promoting it. It’s really getting to the point where anyone who is not vocally a strong conservative is the enemy of the Constituiton, morality, and sanity.

[DJ MacWoW]

No. That's not all you did. And you know that. Not every FReeper that lives in NY state can simply move. And it's snide to say they should or they are getting what they deserve.

Tell me, do you deserve Obama? You live here princess.

[RIghtwardHo]

Yeah, it’s all over the place now. Just check any news site. It passed.

Sorry if I caused confusion but I for sure saw the headline.

Exactly so.

Cowards. Immoral cowards.

Add delusional to that description.

I hope they repent but I doubt it.

I don’t think you’re an American. You don’t declare your state, and rather than having some compassion for conservatives in NY State, you’re engaging in some variation of class warfare.

I'm going to bed. I have an early morning.

Night.

[DJ MacWoW]

Thanks. I guess. :-(

New York goes a long way in creating the “sense of inevitability” for marriage that the rainbow circus has been striving for.

This is really sad. NAMBLA will start pushing for lowering the age of consent, and they'll be home free. The 50 year old gym coach can marry the 12 year old student. True love...progress my ass.

[DBeers]

I hope they repent but I doubt it.

It is unfortunate that many innocent and righteous will suffer at the expense of the morally devoid. We will see how well New York does subsidizing perversion.

[DJ MacWoW]

We will see how well New York does subsidizing perversion.

Yes. And a wider spread of diseases. And the courts overwhelmed with "divorces". And attacks on believers no matter what exemptions passed.

Gotta go to bed.

Night.

I don’t deserve Obama but I got him anyway. I would never want to live anywhere but the south.

Someone wrote “welcome to HELL, New York”. Is that offensive?

[little jeremiah]

Good night, DJ - things cannot go into the abyss forever. It’s terribly disheartening but I am sure things will turn around. It’s so painful to see not just those who are bound and determined to do evil, but the weak cowardice that allows it to happen.

[DJ MacWoW]

In that case, I wouldn't rag on NY FReepers. Or FReepers from any other state. Unless you're willing to leave the country.

Goodnight.
