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.

I’m an ex-NYer living in Tx since 1983. Still have family and friends up there—many of whom are conservative minded.
Its a shame that the majority are beholden to the Dem freaks and Liberal trash. The Republican party there is mostly a joke save for a very few. Carl Paladino as Governor would not have pushed this gay marriage crap like Andrew cHomo lowlife has done. Weep for NY.

The Federal Marriage Amendment that trumps this nonsense is even more important.

Because, truthfully, after this vote, I don’t give one single, solitary iota of concern for the survival of New York. It can burn in blazes, and I will react by grinning from ear to ear. It’s no longer a state, but a damned cancer.

Ass

I’m curious - what did Christ have to say on the subject of homosexuality or gay marriage?

His first public miracle was changing the water into wine at a wedding feast. A so-called 'gay marriage' at that time would have been an abomination of epic proportions.

New York, lol. It's been a corrupt, mob-controlled government for decades.

I was astonished to learn that Stonewall was a Genovese mob-run establishment and the raid on it was to cut down on blackmail operations, not just to defend public morals.

The same mob family is now a big backer of the Pride Parade. I bet the Genoveses just decided that backing the gay movement is a more effective means of blackmail and control.

the MSM concealed this story well.

The homosexuals of the MSM intentionally do NOT report thise homosexual marriage stories in order to avoid the majority of the usa.

“BUT..don’t FORCE those Clergy who DON’T believe in it to conduct it.”

If the clergy are muslim, they won`t force them to do it. But they WILL force Christian clergy to do it.

they’re laying the groundwork to persecute those that don’t support it

That will be the next step. Christian organizations that refuse to validate the faggot lifestyle will ultimately be forced in the courts to hire queers.

They’re not going to go away. I’d rather force their hand into States Rights in an attempt to stop their nationalizing of their agenda. (But then again, we may have more luck forcing them back into their homes. LOL)

about the GOP and how they don't stand for family values and are hypocrites

In the final analysis, politicians do only that which will insure they keep their jobs. Repugnant and demonRat alike.

I have more respect for mafiosi. At least they're honest about what they are.

I was just thinking about this today.

I think it would be funny to start a movement to force the Left to incorporate gay marriage into Islam, devote a website to it.

Make them play by their rules.

as a prophetic plunge into indescribably depravity

You're kidding, right? How old are you? We took this plunge back in the 60s when the hippy trash took control of the media and the nation's young. How about when a corrupt supreme court legalized pornography and abortion? This isn't a "plunge." This is a frog sitting in a comfortable pan of water that's slowing getting hotter.

What a whore. I hate RINOs.

Had it been OK or Utah, I would be disappointed with 52%.

But it was left-wing California. So I consider that an overwhelming majority. Probably influenced by the illegals, but I’ll take what I can get.

I have found preterist postmillenialism to be the most consistent.

I have to agree. I'm currently reading Summers' "Worthy is the Lamb." Obviously the events in Revelation already happened. It's a fascinating study.

Divorce isn’t outlawed in the Bible.

Nice attempt at an irrelevant attack, though.
