One World Trade Center to light up in a rainbow (NYC)
Politics on the Hudson ^ | June 26, 2015. | Joseph Spector

In recognition of the the Supreme Court decision to legalize same-sex marriage in the country and New York City Pride Week, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said today he has directed that the lights on One World Trade Center’s 408-foot spire to shine in a rainbow on Sunday night.

In one of his top accomplishments as governor, Cuomo pressed the state Legislature in 2011 to legalize same-sex marriage, making New York the largest state in the nation to do so and leading other states to follow suit.

Cuomo’s statement:

“New York has been a leader in the fight for marriage equality, and today’s Supreme Court decision affirms what we have fought so hard for – that marriage is a fundamental right that should be afforded to everyone, regardless of whom they love.

When we passed the Marriage Equality Act in 2011, New York sent a message to the nation that it was time to end one of society’s greatest inequities, and I am thrilled to see the Court join us on the right side of history. Dividing people into first and second-class citizens is not only wrong, it runs contrary to who we are as a nation.

From Stonewall to Edie Windsor, New Yorkers have always been on the front lines of the fight to ensure equality and fairness for all. Today, we are proud New Yorkers and proud Americans. Today, progress marches on.”

Just YUCK. Another push toward the oblivion of our once-great nation.

IIRC, Cuomo reduced it to how much money NYC would gain.

Forget American “Christians” waking up...

Millions of babies have been slaughtered on street corners for decades now and the vast majority of them could give a rat’s behind.

If this didn’t motivate them to action, nothing will.

The abortions could be hidden.

This gets in their face.

Do not cheer for Satan. (Yes you are.)

So as not to offend we cannot draw Mohammad, because it is insulting, and yet the homostapo can insult any time they want Christians and not a f-in peep from anyone

I refuse to call it the plain One World Trade Center and always opt to call it the far more bold Freedom Tower in conversation!

Well Satan never does anything original.
He can only pervert what God has created to begin with.
Rainbow included.

If they file lawsuits? If?
Oh hell yes they will be.
There’s no fun in a victory like this if they don’t complete the agenda.
This ruling is merely a weapon to be wielded against everyone they want to bully into subjugation.

One World Trade Center is the street address.

Two World Trade Center was never rebuilt.

Freedom Tower? Nice thought, but Surrender Tower would be more in line with reality.

A celebration of sodomy.

America is truly ready for the ash heap.

This makes me think back to 9/11, and all I did to raise funds for help and such. If another 9/11 happens, I hope nobody is expecting me to give a damn this time around. I’m not lifting a finger for this depraved country.

The Boss is Hangin’ Out a Rainbow
Sons of the Pioneers (Bob Nolan)

Heigh-ho!
Why should I be grievin’?
Stormy clouds are leavin’.
The boss is hangin’ out a rainbow.
Heigh-ho!
Now the grass is greener,
Air is cool and cleaner,
The boss is hangin’ out a rainbow.

Many days I’ve rode the rolling ranges,
Feeling every heartbeat of the West.
Sun and wind and rain and many changes
But that’s because the boss knows what is best.

Heigh-ho!
Why should I be grievin’?
Stormy clouds are leavin’.
The boss is hangin’ out a rainbow.
Heigh-ho!
Now the grass is greener,
Air is cool and cleaner,
The boss is hangin’ out a rainbow.

I saw him throw his lariat,
A braided lightnin’ strand.
I saw him catch those angry clouds
And burn ‘em with his brand.

Heigh-ho!
Now the sun is blazin’,
Hungry cattle grazin’,
The boss is hangin’ out a rainbow.
The boss is hangin’ out a rainbow.
