NY Legislature legalizes gay marriage
AP ^ | June 24, 2011 | MICHAEL GORMLEY

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) - Gay marriage will become legal in New York state after the Republican-led state Senate voted to approve it. Advocates are calling it a historic step as New York stands to become the sixth but by far the largest state to legalize same-sex marriage.

Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo lobbied hard for the bill and has promised to sign it.

The Senate vote is viewed as a major gain in an effort to allow gay marriage nationally.

The deletion of rsquare’s comments and the comments of those who responded to them is un-called for. We need to know that these trolls are here infecting this forum.

I have never read a more disgusting post in favor of homosexual marriage and in opposition to traditional christianity than post number 77.

That post needs to be restored and the comments directed to it need to be restored and rsquare needs to be sent back to DU where his philosophy will be appreciated.

You're correct.

Many people don't realize how late the time is.

Maranatha!

So let’s say some gay guy gets married and later wants to divorce and cites the infidelity of his partner. The cheating partner hires some hotshot gay attorney to say that promiscuity in gay marriage is “cultural.” Some radical judge agrees. Soon, straights demand the same “rights” as gays to cheat on their partner.

Sorry to say, you are living in the past (I wish we all still were, if even only a few hours in the past!) All 50 states and DC now have no-fault divorce laws, which means you don't have to cite any wrongdoing by the other spouse to get a divorce. You just say, "the marriage is irretrievably broken," and you're entitled to a divorce.

That’s odd. Usually trolls like that just get banned, not have all kinds of comments and replies deleted.

“Advocates are calling it a historic step “

Pelosi called Obamacare historic, but there’s good history and bad history, and we know the difference.

Oh, I am not giving up hope at all. In fact news events like happened tonight strengthen my hope because it validates the prophecy of the Bible.

Furthermore, I know that things will get better. Victoriously better. It is just that it will get a hell of a lot worse before it gets better.

I can understand your desire in not starting a religious debate. And I am not trying to debate with you. It is just that this issue is not anti-American or anti-Western civilization. It is not about politics. It goes much further. It goes even before the creation of Israel. That is how important it is to God; it also has adverse effects to the stability of societies and civilizations. Again, these vermin scum in NY and elsewhere have no idea who they are attacking and what the terrifying consequences it will bring.

That post was 10 times worse than almost any troll's post I have read on this forum. I have never read a more pro-homosexual agenda and anti-Christian rant on Free Republic and the post just disappears, all the comments directed to it just disappeared and the poster still has posting rights.

I'd like an explanation. Someone is protecting rsquare. Why?

Sayward sent me an email that she voted for the same-sex bill because “separation of church and state” is in the Constitution.

But it’s NO WHERE in the Constitution. These are our “leaders”?????

As I was pondering the fact that this happened in a Republican controlled body, with the votes of Republicans, I remember that the Grand Old Party was founded for the purpose of combating what they called the “twin relics of barbarism,” polygamy and slavery.

One man, one woman marriage and the protection of life and liberty.

I’m thinking that there seems to be very, very few Republican “leaders” now who have any knowledge of history. Much less moral history. Even the history of their own party.

Well theres this guy

Congressman Walsh Signs Pledge to Cut, Cap and Balance the Budget

Congressman Walsh statement on support of massive cuts in Agriculture Appropriations Bill

Congressman Walsh reacts to RSC letter urging leadership to passBalanced Budget Amendment, part of debt ceiling strategy

Rep. Walsh releases statement why he did not attend President Obama's debt ceiling meeting at the White House yesterday

Here's a quote from that last one:

"The entire meeting yesterday was a political exercise with the goal of showing the media and the country that his President is doing something. I had no interest in being part of such a stunt. I'd rather actually do something."

SO...all things considered, I think he qualifies.

He never has.

I think you really need to think about what you posted. And also think about what Phelps is doing. I don’t see much difference to be honest with you.

It appears that the poster has now been deleted.

Good riddance.

I just wish the posts would be restored so people can know why he was zotted.

A good question in the video below, when a man asks:

“What do you think about teaching this in the schools?”

Later a good point in the video which stated:

“Marriage is an institution which predates the State, and the State has no right to change it.

Also, a lighter moment, but yet profound at the same time, when one of the voluminous drivers who honked their horns to support TRADITIONAL MARRIAGE, parked his car to look at the sign that said to Honk if you support traditional marriage, because he said he was confused, as he could not believe so many drivers were honking for traditional marriage, as he thought the Bronx was liberal.

Constant honking of horns in Long Island, and Manhattan, too, as you can see, and hear, in the video.

VIDEO:
http://www.lifesitenews.com/blog/video-some-unbelievable-support-and-some-violent-opposition-to-protecting-t

Listen to the people honking their horns in the background to support TRADITIONAL MARRIAGE.

Note the Black people in the Video supporting TRADITIONAL MARRIAGE, which will surely weaken the talking point which compares interrational marriage with same-sex “marriage.”

Why should FR allow anti-Christian remarks? It is blasphemy, and blashemy should be deleted.
